After consulting with his demoniac ministers, Kamsa instructed a witch named Putana, who knew the black art of killing small children by ghastly sinful methods, to kill all kinds of children in the cities, villages and pasturing grounds.
Such witches can play their black art only where there is no chanting or hearing of the holy name of Krsna. It is said that wherever the chanting of the holy name of Krsna is done, even negligently, all bad elements — witches, ghosts and dangerous calamities — immediately disappear.
And this is certainly true of the place where the chanting of the holy name of Krsna is done seriously — especially in Vrndavana when the Supreme Lord was personally present.
