तं जुगुप्सितकर्माणं नृशंसं निरपत्रपम् ।
वसुदेवो महाभाग उवाच परिसान्त्वयन् ॥ ३६ ॥
tam-unto him (Kamsa); jugupsita-karmanam-who was ready to commit such an offensive act; nrsamsam-very cruel; nirapatrapam-shameless; vasudevah-Vasudeva; maha-bhagah-the greatly fortunate father of Vasudeva; uvaca-said; parisantvayan-pacifying.
Vasudeva, who was to be the father of Krsna, is described here as maha-bhaga, a very upright and sober personality, because although Kamsa was ready to kill Vasudeva's wife, Vasudeva remained sober and unagitated. In a peaceful attitude, Vasudeva began to address Kamsa by putting forward reasonable arguments. Vasudeva was a great personality because he knew how to pacify a cruel person and how to forgive even the bitterest enemy. One who is fortunate is never caught, even by tigers or snakes.
