Amma, Tell Me How Krishna Defeated Kansa!

Another story of Krishna's adventures,
Fighting Kaliya, a demon in snake form,
And lifting a mountain on just one finger,
As a shield from an angry god's thunderstorm.

And finally, the story of how evil Kansa
Tried to kill Krishna, with methods so grim.
But be they elephant or ace wrestlers,
No one succeeded in harming him!
