Devaki and Kamsa were cousins

There was a king called Ahuka. He had two sons: Devaka and Ugrasena.

 

Devaka had four sons: Devavan, Upadeva, Sudeva e Devavardhana.
He also had seven daughters: Dhrishtadeva, Upadeva, Devarakshita, Shrideva, Shantideva, Sahadeva e Devaki. The latter would become Sri Krishna’s mother.
All of them were given to Vasudeva as wives.

 

Ugrasena’s sons were:
Kamsa, Sunama, Nyagrodha, Kanka, Shanku, Suhu, Rashtrapala, Dhrishti e Tushtiman.

The daughters were:
Kamsa, Kamsavati, Kanka, Surabhu e Rastrapalika, who became Vasudeva’s younger brothers wives.

 

Therefore Devaki and Kamsa were cousins.
