Soon, Vasudeva reached Gokul and met his friend Nanda. Nanda was beaming with joy on the birth of his daughter. Vasudeva told him the whole story and handed over his son. Nanda gave his daughter Yogamaya to Vasudeva. He kept Nanda’s newly born daughter in the basket and took her along to the prison. When Vasudeva reached the prison, he placed the baby-girl next to Devaki. As as he did so, the prison doors clanged shut. The prison guards awoke. They raised a loud clamour when they saw little Yogamaya. The guards immediately ran to tell evil Kansa about the eighth child. Vasudeva comforted Devaki and said, “Do not worry; Lord Krishna is now safe in Gokul. Kansa will never be able to reach Him.” Devaki said, “It is the blessing of Lord Vishnu that evil Kansa will not be able to harm our son.” Kansa’s fate was now sealed.
