English	4.8: “To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium.” Here Kṛṣṇa kills His demonic usurper uncle, Kaṁsa. Balarāma, Kṛṣṇa’s brother, stands nearby in blue. Behind Kṛṣṇa are Kṛṣṇa’s parents, Vasudeva and Devakī, who were imprisoned for years by Kaṁsa.
