Translation: 

 

Grabbing Kamsa by the hair and knocking off his crown, the lotus-naveled Lord threw him off the elevated dais onto the wrestling mat. Then the independent Lord, the support of the entire universe, threw Himself upon the King.

 

Purport: 

 

In Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Srila Prabhupada describes the death of Kamsa as follows: “Krsna at once straddled his chest and began to strike him over and over again. Simply from the strokes of His fist, Kamsa lost his vital force.”
