Confusion of King Kans

                                           Confusion of King Kans

King Kans was the uncle of Shri Krishna. Krishna is the son of Kans's sister Devaki. But Kans had evil intentions from the beginning. His father was King Ugrasena. Ugrasena was the king of Mathura. But Kans imprisoned his father and became the king.
Kans's sister Devaki married to Vasudeva. But  a voice from heaven said Kans that the 8th child of Devaki will be the cause of his death. By listening to that, Kans was scared. He imprisoned both Devaki and Vasudeva. He was keeping an eye on them.
Devaki became pregnant and gave birth to a child. But Kans came and killed the child. But my doubt is, when he had known that 8th child will be the cause for his death, he could have spared the first 7 children ! But the article is confusion of Kans not mine.
But the real confusion of Kans came now. Devaki had a miscarriage on her 7th child. But actually her womb was transferred to Rohini, wife of Nanda in Vrindavan. Thus born Balram.
Kans was confused. Devaki became pregnant again. Kans didnt know how to count. whether is it 7th or 8th !? But his courtiers said it is the 8th one. Thus , Kans arranged a tight security to couple. Krishna was born but the guards were fast asleep and Vasudev was able to exchange the children of Yashoda of Vrindavan and his wife Devaki.
Kans didnt know the children were exchanged. He came to kill his death but it was a girl child. As Kans readied himself to kill the child, child was able to free herself from Kans's clutches and she was Yogamaya. She said that the true 8 th child is growing in Vrindavan.
