How are Ugrasena, evil Kaá¹sa, and his younger brother Devaka? How are Há¹›dÄ«ka and his son Ká¹›tavarmÄ, AkrÅ«ra, Jayanta, Gada and SÄraṇa?
Ahuka is Ugrasena. His evil son was Kamsa, who is already dead. He is asking about his (Kamsa’s) soul. Ugrasena’s younger brother is Devaka. Hrdika’s son is Krtavarma. Jayanta, Gada, Sarana63 and Satrujit (mentioned in the next verse) were brothers (Vasudeva’s other sons).
