English	EN KB 2012: While riding with his sister Devakī during the wedding procession, Kaṁsa heard a voice from the sky proclaim that her eighth child would kill him. The demon instantly grabbed Devakī's hair and raised his sword to kill her – but the bride's husband, Vasudeva, dissuaded him.
English	EN SB 10.1 1977: As the newly married Vasudeva and Devakī were ready to start for home, conchshells, bugles, drums and kettledrums all vibrated in concert for their auspicious departure. But while Kaṁsa, controlling the reins of the horses, was driving the chariot along the way, an unembodied voice addressed him, “You foolish rascal, the eighth child of the woman you are carrying will kill you!” Immediately the envious and sinful Kaṁsa caught hold of Devakī’s hair with his left hand and took up his sword with his right hand to sever her head from her body. Fortunately, however, the great soul Vasudeva, who was to be the father of Kṛṣṇa, was able to pacify him.
