In
Hinduism,
Kamsa is the son of a
demon and half-brother of
Devaki. He was told that one of Devaki's sons would kill him, so he murdered the first six. The next were the twins
Krishna (an
avatar of
Vishnu) and
Balarama, who were saved by moving them to
Rohini's move. Krishna was then raised by two peasants,
Nanda and
Yasoda.
