As Devki and Vasudev bade farewell to their seventh son, their hearts ached with the anguish of parental separation. The forced sacrifice weighed heavily upon them, yet they knew it was necessary for their child's safety in the face of Kansa's tyranny.

Twelve, months passed, marked by a palpable emptiness in their home, until the promise of a new life stirred within Devki's womb. The anticipation of their eighth child, destined to confront the darkness that loomed over Mathura, brought a glimmer of hope amidst their grief.

When the appointed time arrived, Devki's chamber echoed with the primal melody of childbirth. Each moment was fraught with the anticipation of destiny's revelation.

And then, with a cry that pierced the veil between worlds, the newborn babe emerged—a radiant embodiment of divine grace. Narayan, the eternal preserver, had descended to fulfill his sacred duty and usher in an era of righteousness.

Devki cradled her newborn son, her heart overflowing with maternal love and reverence, while Vasudev bowed before the divine presence that now graced their humble abode.

Narayan, in his infant form, emanated a celestial aura that halted time itself. Devki and Vasudev, overwhelmed by the divine radiance, prostrated themselves before their son, their Lord.

Narayan: "Pranipat, pitashree and mata. And please Do not send me away to the netherworld."

Vasudev, bewildered by the divine request, sought clarity.

Vasudev: "pranipat Narayan! But how can we, mere mortals, be your parents? What do you ask of us, what do you mean prabu Narayan?"

Narayan, with gentle patience, sought to allay their fears and elucidate the cosmic design.

Narayan: "Fear not, pitashree, Let me explain. As Devi Yogmaya foretold, I am born to you as your eighth child to end Kansa's reign. And also devi Yogmaya herself will incarnate as your ninth child to vanquish adharma."

Devki and Vasudev nodded, their hearts heavy with the weight of destiny.

Vasudev: "But Narayan, Devi Yogmaya has not yet come to escort you, i mean your recreational infant to safety."

Narayan: "Do not worry pitashree. The gates shall open at the appointed hour. You need only exchange me for the newborn son of Nanda and Yashoda, who shares my birth moment."

With a wave of his divine power, Narayan opened the gates of their prison, paving the way for their fateful journey.

Narayan: "Now, replace me with the firstborn son of Nanda and Yashoda. He is my shadow. We are born in same time and have same looks. "
