TRANSLATION

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: O best of the Kuru dynasty, Kaḿsa was fiercely cruel and was actually a follower of the Rākṣasas. Therefore he could be neither pacified nor terrified by the good instructions given by Vasudeva. He did not care about the results of sinful activities, either in this life or in the next.
