Bhagwat aur Vishnu Puran par aadharit Shri Krishna ke janm ki katha — andhkaar mein prakash ke prakat hone ki kahani.
Kans aur aakashvani
Mathura ke raja Kans ne apni behan Devaki ka vivah Vasudev se karaya. Vidaai ke samay aakashvani hui ki Devaki ki aathvi santaan Kans ka kaal banegi. Kans ne Devaki-Vasudev ko kaaragaar mein daal diya aur unki chhah santaanon ko maar diya. Saatvi santaan (Balram) Yogmaya dwara Rohini ke garbh mein pahunch gayi.
Aadhi raat ka chamatkar
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami ki aadhi raat ko, ghor baarish mein, Bhagwan Vishnu chaturbhuj roop mein prakat hue aur phir baalak ban gaye. Pahredaar so gaye, bediyaan khul gayin aur kaaragaar ke darwaze apne aap khul gaye.
Gokul ki or
Vasudev baalak ko tokri mein rakh kar umadti Yamuna paar karne lage; Sheshnaag ne chhatra bankar baarish se bachaya aur Yamuna ne raasta diya. Gokul mein Nand-Yashoda ke ghar baalak ko rakh kar wahan janmi kanya (Yogmaya) ko le aaye. Kans ne us kanya ko maarna chaaha to wah aakash mein Devi roop mein prakat hui aur boli — "Tera kaal Gokul mein surakshit hai."
