A short spoken Q&A (YouTube) discussing why Lord Krishna was born as Devaki's eighth child rather than earlier. Speakers explain that the earlier children were affected by a curse and related karmic reasons: the first six were cursed/offended a deity and later received spiritual restoration, the seventh child (Balarama) was transferred to Rohini's womb, and Krishna was born eighth. The discussion frames these events as theological/mythological explanations rather than historical claims.

This is a general question. Why did Krishna born as the eighth child for Devaki? Why not the first so that he could save the other seven childs?
First of all, why Krishna does anything? He has a lot of different reasons why he does. Being the eighth child, her sixth were actually cursed because they had offended Lord Burma. So by being born in the same family as Kutztown they got blessings. 7th child was Lord Balaram who was transferred to the womb of Rohini so that as a miscarriage and Krishna was the eighth child. Later on he got the first six children back from Mother Delhi. She had asked for a blessing. So those six children who had taken the milk from De Lachi, milk from Delochi Rest which was the same rush that Krishna took milk from so they were all rushed transferred to the spiritual womb Sam.
