The Great Purana, the North Purana
Then, the king Vasudeva, known as Devaseena, and his wife, the human Devaki, were brought to Kansa. [369] Kansa, who was second to none in power, was happy to have them. At that time, the Muni Ati Mukta came to the palace for alms. [370] Seeing him, Jivadyaasha, with a smile and joy, gave Devaki's flower-scented clothes to the Muni. [371] "This is Devaki's effort to show her respect to you, Muni," she said. Hearing this, the Muni, filled with anger, said, "This Devaki's son will surely kill your husband." [372] Hearing this, Jivadyaasha, filled with anger, tore the clothes in two. [373] "He will not only kill your husband, but also your father," said the Muni. Hearing this, Jivadyaasha, filled with anger, trampled the clothes with her feet. [374] Seeing this, the Muni said, "Devaki's son will protect the earth, like a woman protects her husband." [375] Jivadyaasha, understanding everything as she had heard, went to Kansa and explained everything to him. [376] Kansa, fearing the Muni's words, even if spoken in jest, went to Vasudeva with great affection and requested, "By your permission, Devaki should come to our house during her delivery and complete the delivery rituals." [377] Vasudeva, persuaded by Kansa's request, agreed. It is true that even the great Munis can make mistakes when it comes to inevitable events. [378-379] The Muni, again, went to Devaki's house for alms. Devaki, standing up, welcomed him with the proper rituals. After offering him food, Devaki and Vasudeva asked him, "Will we ever be able to take initiation?" Knowing their intention, the Muni said, "Why do you ask so deceitfully? You will have seven sons. Six of them will grow up in other places and attain Nirvana. The seventh son will become a Chakravarti and rule the entire earth under his umbrella for a long time." [380-383] Hearing this, Devaki was overjoyed. Later, she gave birth to two pairs of sons in three births. [384]
