Jarasandha,
the king of Magadha was the father-in-law of KAMSA. Jarasandha had
married her two daughters Asti and PRAPTI in Kamsa.
When Kṛṣṇa Kamsa killed, of course Jarasandha was furious.
Jarasandha collected a huge army and attacked the city of Kṛṣṇa from Majuea, not even but eighteen times.
Krishna defeated Jarasandha seventeen times and every time he saved the life of the Jarasandha.
For the eighteenth time, the forces Jarasandhaed with another king named Kalayavana and attacked Majuea on two fronts.
Kṛṣṇa and Balarama had all their people in the Kingdom of Dwaraka and with a skeleton army, faced with this double attack.
With the help of a great king by his name Muchukunda, Krishna killed Kalayavana.
But
Kṛṣṇa's problems were only half, with the death of Kalayavana. They had
the Kalayavana army. Jarasandha army was always around him. And this
time, Jarasandha had assembled a huge army.
Kṛṣṇa and Balarama, instead of fighting Jarasandha, fled to the battlefield.
Jarasandha
probably did not know the fate of Kalayavana and thought his plan to
attack Majuea on two fronts eventually triumphed.
Rejoices with himself, he and the people of the Army gave a persecution to the brothers Yann, who fled.
The
brothers ran hard and came to a mountain called Pravarsana. (in
Sanskrit, Pravarsana means the rainy mountains.) We think it's still
raining in Pravarsana.
The two brothers saw the approach to the army and began to climb the mountain.
Jarasandha was gay when he saw the two brothers climbing up the mountain.
Realizing that the two brothers were trapped in the mountain, Jarasandha ordered his men to burn the mountains everywhere.
Jarasandha
and his men saw in the fierce satisfaction that the mountain was
beautifully burned. They just made sure nobody escaped from the
mountain.
Jarasandha returned to his kingdom and finally convinced himself that he wanted to avenge the murderers of his son-in-law.
Of
course Kṛṣṇa and Balarama have escaped the fire. (some Purana mentioned
that the two brothers jumped out of the mountain for a distance of
about 11 Yojanas to escape the fire!) In fact, 1 Yojana is about 14.63
kilometers.
It is believed that Krishna and Balarama framed their own dead because they wanted to start again in the city of Dwaraka
Dwaraka was a very safe place when he was surrounded by all sides. Jarasandha couldn't attack her over there.
And
the reason Kṛṣṇa did not kill Jarasandha was that it was important that
Jarasandha lived at that time--for the Pandavas--because only when the
Pandavas killed Jarasandha, could the Kingdom of the Jarasandha annex,
and this movement would build the supremacy of the Pandavas.
When the brothers Dwaraka after the escape from the fire, they saw the beautiful mountain of the Raivataka on the way.
But
it was not surprising. What it was was that there was a shiny beauty
next to the mountain and next to the girl, an old man was-a very
restless boy looked old.
However,
the old man was concerned, there was no doubt that the guy was the king
and the jewels he wore looked like the jewels of the old days. But the
man behaves like a king and had perfect royal bearings while examining
the two brothers looking a little concerned.
"Who Are you?" Balarama asked when studying the old man.
The girl was incredibly beautiful. So nice that Balarama didn't even see it.
"My
name is Kakudmi." Some people even call me revata. The man spoke in an
ancient language that was almost forgotten by the locals. Luckily, the
two brothers could follow him. "I am from the Kingdom of Kusasthali." I
am the king of this kingdom.
Balarama looked surprised. "Kusasthali?" He asked to see how he could not believe what he meant.
"Yes".
It was the first time the girl spoke. She had a nice voice and was
definitely troubling Balarama. "I am the princess of this kingdom."
There was a slight anger in her voice, as if she simply could not
believe that someone doubted her and her father.
"You
don't understand, my princess," said Kṛṣṇa with shining eyes. "We have
only read about the kingdom of Kusasthali." This kingdom is in the
history of the. And by the way, our kingdom of Dwaravathi builds on the
place where the kingdom of Kusasthali existed. Kṛṣṇa said to the stunned
Princess.
"Why
don't you tell us about yourself, King?" Kṛṣṇa asked the king, for he
came to the Kingdom of Dwaravathi. The pits of the land were drawn and
the princess and the king were treated with utmost respect.
Then
to speak of Kṛṣṇa. Balarama on his side was strangely silent. If Kṛṣṇa
found it strange, he didn't mention it. But everyone could know that
Kṛṣṇa's eyes looked inappropriate evil. Seemed even more mischievous
than usual.
KAKUDMI,
unfortunately, I did not know much about Balarama and did not see
anything abnormal as it continued. "As I said, I am the king of
Kusasthali." Kakudmi stopped while he was studying his beautiful
daughter. He became a little red and looked almost radiantly handsome as
Kakudmi turned to Kṛṣṇa. "I wanted to find a good friend for my
daughter."
Balarama
almost ran out of breath as he went on at the last minute that the king
continued. "I could find no one on Earth or even among the devas." So I
approached Lord Brahma.
"Lord Brahma?" Kṛṣṇa Murmur. "Have you Satyaloka?" (Satyaloka is the kingdom in which the Lord Brahma lives.)
Kakudmi
nods when he realized that Kṛṣṇa had understood his problem. But for
the sake of the Balarama, KAKUDMI continued. "When we arrived in
Satyaloka, Lord Brahma heard the musical conception of the Gandharvas,
the musicians of the Devas."
Balarama KAKUDMI continued. "I waited for the end of the presentation." It turned out to be a mistake. Kakudmi said Stark.
"Error?" Balarama asked almost sternly.
"Yes".
Kakudmi continued. "You see that time in different realms happen
differently." A few minutes to Satyaloka is a few years on Earth. My
daughter and I were there for the whole musical presentation. So, until
the time of the presentation ended, all the people I knew had died on
Earth, even their families had disappeared. Nothing remained.
"So what happened?" Balarama asked, and now he was really fascinated.
"At
that moment I spoke with Lord Brahma, I did not know that." "I told him
about my problem and asked him to propose a good friend to my
daughter." Kakudmi looked at the fierce eyes of the Balarama and
continued. "Brahma told me what had happened and told me another story
and asked me to go back to Raivataka."
"What story?" Kṛṣṇa asked, do not fight smiles. I just knew where it was going.
"He
told me the story of Chakshush Manu, a mighty king who reigned on
Earth." Kakudmi seemed anxious when he looked at the two brothers.
"What's the matter with him?" Balarama demanded impatiently.
"Not He." Kakudmi was slowly corrected. "Your daughter--Jyotishmati."
"Who is Jyotishmati?" Balarama was almost irritated when he raised his hands in despair.
"Chakshush
Manu made a great sacrifice and Jyotishmati was born of the fires." It
should be a great beauty. When she grew up, she wanted to marry the most
powerful man of all.
"OK". Balarama said to realize that he had to let the man go at his own pace.
"So, Jyotishmati first approach to Indra."
"Indra?" Kṛṣṇa asked him and rolled his very wicked eyes.
Kakudmi
nods. "But Indra says that Vayu, the Lord of the Wind was stronger than
him." "and sent Jyotishmati to the Lord of the Wind."
Balarama
and Kṛṣṇa continued to consider themselves as KAKUDMI. "Vayu said that
he was not strong enough and that the earth was stronger than him and
that the goddess of the earth would know who is stronger than Vayu."
Well, Balarama realized why Kṛṣṇa was smiling all the time and almost red.
Of
course, Kakudmi didn't know how he was driving. "The goddess of the
earth told Jyotishmati that Sesha, the serpent of the Thousand heads in
which Lord Vishnu rested, was even more powerful than the Earth, because
Sesha held the same land on his head."
"Sesha?" Balarama almost died as kṛṣṇa could not stop laughing.
"But
the story doesn't stop." Kakudmi said without realize the state of mind
of the two brothers. "Lord Brahma seems to be Jyotishmati that an
incarnation of Lord Sesha appears on Earth, but it would appear to be 27
yugas after his birth."
"Ah." It was all Balarama could manipulate as he struggled not to laugh at Kṛṣṇa.
"Jyotishmati
was furious with this, when Brahma told him he would cross the 27 yugas
and still marry the man." Kakudmi said when he looked at the two
brothers with a little luck. "I just don't know what this story has to
do with me or my daughter."
