Aghāsura, who had been sent by Kamsa, was the younger brother of Pūtanā and Bakāsura. Therefore when he came and saw Krishna at the head of all the cowherd boys, he thought, "This Krishna has killed my sister and brother, Pūtanā and Bakāsura. Therefore, in order to please them both, I shall kill this Krishna, along with His assistants, the other cowherd boys."
