Harivamsha Purana
Hearing the interpretation of her dreams from her husband, she was filled with joy and said, "So be it!" Just as the sky, for the sake of the world's peace, holds the rain-bearing clouds, so too did she quickly conceive a child for the benefit of the world. ||16|| As her body and mind grew in happiness, so too did the joy of all beings on earth increase with the growth of her womb. ||17|| Kamsa, consumed by anxiety, guarded the womb, waiting for the birth, his soul base, not caring for the qualities of the child, and counting the days and months without any regard. ||18|| Though all children are born in nine months, Krishna was born in the seventh month, on the twelfth day of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada, in the Shravana constellation, unseen and unobserved. ||19|| Krishna, whose body was adorned with the auspicious marks of the conch, discus, etc., and whose body radiated a brilliant blue light like a precious gem, illuminated Devaki's delivery room with his radiance. ||20|| At that time, due to the influence of that Supreme Being, auspicious signs appeared in the homes of his friends and relatives, while fearful omens appeared in the homes of his enemies. ||21|| Even though there was a heavy downpour for seven days, as soon as Krishna was born, Balarama picked him up, and Vasudeva held a canopy over him, and they both left the house that very night. ||22||
In her dream, she saw Lakshmi being crowned by elephants, which indicated that he would be very fortunate and crowned king. In her fourth dream, she saw a flying chariot descending from the sky, which revealed that he would be born from heaven. In her fifth dream, she saw a blazing fire, which indicated that he would be very radiant. In her sixth dream, she saw the flags of the gods adorned with jewels, which indicated that he would be steadfast in nature. And in her seventh dream, she saw a lion entering her mouth, which indicated that he would be fearless. ||15||
