Devi Devaki and Vasudeva grieved over the death of her six children, she was in utter desolation, was pacified by the compassionate words of Vasudeva. Once, again Devaki got pregnant with a child on the seventh time.  She regained her strength with the divinity of the child in her womb, thus the divine form of supreme Lord as Anantha entered the womb of Devi Devaki as the seventh child.   The supreme Lord instructed Yogamaya to transfer the child from the womb of Devi Devaki to Devi Rohini in the Gokul.  She was also instructed to take her place in the womb of Devi Yasodha so that she will be highly revered as supreme Goddess.    Lord Vishnu eulogized Yogamaya  “ Oh! Devi, Oh! Bhadhre, kindly extract the child of Devi Devaki and deposit in the womb of  Devi Rohini who is the wife of Vasudeva.  Further, take your place in the womb of Devi Yasodha.  Once, my birth takes place as the son of Devi Devaki and Vasudeva, I will be moved to Gokul and you will be brought to Mathura, in this way you can perform your amusement.  In the future, people will worship you as Devi Durga, Bhadrakali, Vijaya, Vaishnavi, Jaya, Kumudha, Chandika, Krishna, Madhavi, Kanyaka, Maya, Narayani, Sharada, and Ambika, etc.. You will have thousands of sacred names and people will venerate you with utmost devotion.  Therefore kindly proceed to Vraja, there you will be worshipped by cowherds.”

Devi Devaki and Vasudeva were under constant supervision of the guards in the prison, they kept watching on Devi Devaki and informed the status of her pregnancy to Kamsa.  One day, Kamsa visited the prison and found Devaki is fully pregnant with the child, Kamsa could visualize some divinity of the fetus of  Devaki, he wanted to kill the fetus instantly, but changed his mind.  On that night, Devaki lost the fetus, in the morning she found the womb empty without the child, she was not aware of anything that was happened under the influence of Maya of supreme Lord.
