In the Harivamsha Purana,
Kansa was enraged that his father had not freed him at birth. He sought and obtained the kingdom of Mathura from Jarasandha, and with all his resources at his disposal, he went to Mathura with his wife, Jivadyaasha. ||25|| Being cruel, Kansa went to war with his father, Ugrasena, and defeated him, quickly binding him. ||26|| Kansa, who was extremely fierce and had petty ambitions, confined his father, King Ugrasena, to the main gate of the city, preventing him from moving freely. ||27||
Kansa, being grateful for Vasudeva's kindness, wanted to reciprocate, but he couldn't decide how. He always considered himself Vasudeva's servant. ||28|| One day, with great devotion, he brought Vasudeva to Mathura and, as a guru-dakshina, gave him his sister, Devaki. ||29|| Thereafter, Vasudeva, at Kansa's insistence, resided in Mathura, playing with Devaki, who was radiant and spoke sweet words. ||30|| Kansa, who tormented his enemies and was greatly favored by Jarasandha, ruled Mathura, the capital of the vast country of Shurasena. ||31||
One day, Kansa's elder brother, Ati Muktak Muni, came to the royal palace for a meal. Kansa's wife, Jivadyaasha, stood before the Muni, showing off, and with a playful smile, said, "This is your sister Devaki's garment of joy. Look at it." ||32-33|| The Muni, who knew the state of the world, broke his vow of silence to stop Jivadyaasha, who was arrogant and intoxicated by her royal splendor. He said, "Oh, you are laughing, but this is your great folly. You are finding joy even in a place of sorrow." ||34-35|| "Be certain that the son born from Devaki's womb will kill your husband and father. This is inevitable." ||36||
Hearing this, Jivadyaasha was terrified, and tears streamed from her eyes. She immediately left the Muni and went to her husband, believing that the Muni's words were true. ||37||
