to give birth to dead children. But he can help her by transfering her dead children with another alive children by the help of divine power. Realising 'Something is better than nothing', she accepted the diety's blessing. Co-incidently, when Devki used to give birth to a son, Sulsa also gave birth to a dead son. At that time, Harinagamesh diety exchanged them. Thus, the six sons of Devki were saved by him from the cruel hands of Kansa. Kansa got the satisfaction by killing them, thinking them to be unconsious. But actually, they were the dead sons of Sulsa. Both of them didn't know the fact. When Krishnajee was in her womb, Devki had seven dreams. Vasudev told her that, she would give birth to such a son, who would rule three parts of Bharat Kshetra. So she told him to save the son at any cost. On the mid night of Shravan Vad 8th, she gave birth to a son. At that time, the soldiers of Kansa were asleep. Taking this golden opportunity, Vasudev carried the newly born child to Nanda's house and interchanging it for his daughter, he kept her next to Devki. When the soldiers awoke, they saw the newly born girl and took her to Kansa. He guessed that, the prophecy might not be true and thinking that the girl would not do any harm to him, he only cut her nose. Then, having grown up, Krishnajee killed Kansa and set free his parents. There, at Sulsa's house, six sons grew up and were married.
