Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 10, Chapter 01, Text 45

SB 10.1.45

esa tavanuja bala
krpana putrikopama
hantum narhasi kalyanim
imam tvam dina-vatsalah
 
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
 
As your younger sister, this poor girl Devaki is like your own daughter and deserves to be affectionately maintained. You are merciful, and therefore you should not kill her. Indeed, she deserves your affection.
