त्वं हि ब्रह्मविदां श्रेष्ठः संस्कारान् कर्तुमर्हसि । बालयोरनयोर्नॄणां जन्मना ब्राह्मणो गुरुः ।। १०-८-६ ।।

sanskrit

My lord, you are the best of the brāhmaṇas, especially because you are fully aware of the jyotiḥ-śāstra, the astrological science. Therefore you are naturally the spiritual master of every human being. This being so, since you have kindly come to my house, kindly execute the reformatory activities for my two sons. ।। 10-8-6 ।।

Upon hearing that the purificatory process has been performed by me, the priest of the Yadu dynasty, may certainly consider all these points and suspect that Kṛṣṇa is the son of Devakī and Vasudeva. Then he might take steps to kill Kṛṣṇa. That would be a catastrophe. ।। 10-8-9 ।।
