Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 10.45.8

tan nāv akalpayoḥ kaḿsān

nityam udvigna-cetasoḥ

mogham ete vyatikrāntā

divasā vām anarcatoḥ

SYNONYMS

tat — therefore; nau — of Us two; akalpayoḥ — who were unable; kaḿsāt — because of Kaḿsa; nityam — always; udvigna — disturbed; cetasoḥ — whose minds; mogham — uselessly; ete — these; vyatikrāntāḥ — spent; divasāḥ — days; vām — you; anarcatoḥ — not honoring.

TRANSLATION

Thus We have wasted all these days, unable as We were to properly honor you because Our minds were always disturbed by fear of Kaḿsa.

PURPORT

Lord Kṛṣṇa continues to bring Vasudeva and Devakī back to their normal parental feelings toward Him and Balarāma. An ordinary child would be afraid of a cruel, tyrannical king like Kaḿsa, and Lord Kṛṣṇa here plays the part of such a child, thus evoking the parental sympathy of Vasudeva and Devakī.
