devakī vasudevaś ca
vijñāya jagad-īśvarau
kṛta-saṁvandanau putrau
sasvajāte na śaṅkitau

devakī — Devakī; vasudevaḥ — Vasudeva; ca — and; vijñāya — recognizing; jagat — of the universe; īśvarau — as the two Lords; kṛta — paying; saṁvandanau — full respects (by standing with joined palms); putrau — their two sons; sasvajāte na — they did not embrace; śaṅkitau — apprehensive.

Devakī and Vasudeva, now knowing Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma to be the Lords of the universe, simply stood with joined palms. Being apprehensive, they did not embrace their sons.

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Forty-fourth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Killing of Kaṁsa.”
