Mahabharat - Season 18

Kans kills Devaki's seven children. He instructs a soldier to inform him when Devaki delivers her eighth child. Lord Vishnu appears before Devaki and Vasudeva and seeks Devaki's permission to be born as her son. Devaki gives birth to her eighth child.

The prison doors open and the Yamuna makes way for Vasudeva. A seven-headed snake protects Vasudeva and the new born baby from the rain. Vasudeva gives the new born baby to his friend Nand and takes Nand's baby girl. The baby girl transforms into a goddess and tells Kans about his destiny.

The Gopis complain to Yashoda about Krishna stealing their butter and Yashoda worries about Krishna. Meanwhile, Nand frets about the taxes to be paid to Kans. They decide to relocate to Vrindavan. Krishna begins to reveal his powers.

Krishna and his friends ruin the yagna organised to pacify Indradev. Indradev is angry and it begins to rain heavily. Krishna lifts the Govardhan hill to provide shelter to his people and the cows. Indradev attacks the Govardhan hill.

Kans asks Devaki and Vasudeva about their eighth son. Vasudeva tells him that Balarama and Krishna are his sons. Kans instructs Akroor to bring them both to Mathura. Meanwhile, Yashoda discovers the truth about Krishna's real mother. However, Krishna tells Yashoda he loves her like his own mother.

Krishna reaches Mathura and asks Kans to release his parents and return the kingdom to Ugrasena. Kans challenges Krishna and Balarama to defeat Chanoor and Mushtik. They defeat them, but Kans is already ready with another challenge.
