ほかの者たちはヴァスデーヴァとデーヴァキーがふたりであなたに祈ったので、あなたは彼らの息子として降誕したと言う。あなたは疑いなく誕生することがないお方。けれどもそれでもなお、あなたの献身者の幸福のため、神々に妬みをいだく者を殺すために降誕される。
It is also said that Vasudeva and Devakī, in their previous birth as Sutapā and Pṛśni, underwent a severe type of penance to get the Lord as their son, and as a result of such austerities the Lord appeared as their son. It is already declared in the Bhagavad-gītā that the Lord appears for the welfare of all people of the world and to vanquish the asuras, or the materialistic atheists.
