atmanam-personally; iha-in this world; sanjatam-born again; janan-understanding well; prak-previously, before this birth; visnuna-by Lord Visnu; hatam-was killed; maha-asuram-a great demon; kalanemim-by the name Kalanemi; yadubhih-with the members of the Yadu dynasty; sah-he (Kamsa); vyarudhyata-acted inimically.
Persons who are demons, enemies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, are called asuras. As stated in Bhagavad-gita, the asuras, because of their enmity toward the Supreme Personality of Godhead, take birth after birth in asura families and therefore glide down to the darkest hellish regions.
