[10] The messenger said: "Then, though carefully hidden, that newborn infant's crying, even though unseen by their eyes, was noticed by the guards, and reported to the wicked, evil-minded ruler sleeping inside the inner apartments with remorse. And he, ever since the day of Queen Devakī's marriage, has remained constantly anxious and awake, deeply terrified of the voice from the celestial denizens. Then, merely upon hearing the words spoken to him, his whole mind became frantic; with disheveled hair, terrible, bearing a sword, his steps stumbling, that evil-minded lord of the Bhojas rushed to the lying-in chamber."
