kamsas tu dhanuso bhangam

 raksinam sva-balasya ca

vadham nisamya govinda-

 rama-vikriditam param

 

dirgha-prajagaro bhito

 durnimittani durmatih

bahuny acastobhayatha

 mrtyor dautya-karani ca

 

Translation: 

 

Wicked King Kamsa, on the other hand, was terrified, having heard how Krsna and Balarama had broken the bow and killed his guards and soldiers, all simply as a game. He remained awake for a long time, and both while awake and while dreaming he saw many bad omens, messengers of death.
