4.17.25

yayoḥ putratvamāpannau haryanantau mahābalau |
devakīvasudevau tau duḥkhabhājau kathaṃ mune ||

O best of the Munis! Why were Vâsudeva and Devakî, who were chosen by the very powerful Hari and Ananta as their parents, doomed to so many miseries and afflictions. Why had these parents to remain for good many years in the prison of Kamsa, who pleased directly by their Tapasyâ that Bhagavân Janârdana.
