Kidnapping of Rukmini by Shri Krishna - war with Jarasandha





Vaishampayana said — О Janamejaya, at the same time, Jarasandha, started collecting the monarchs once again, in order to oblige the king of the Chedi - country.

He sent the messege everywhere that Rukmini — the daughter of Bhishmaka and Sisupala are going to be married, in which only the gold ornaments will be used.

Suvaktra — the son of Dantavaktra, who had the knowledge of hundreds of illusions CMayas) and could also put them to useful application and was as valorous in the war as the thousand eyed Indra, was specifically invited by Jarasandha.

Jarasandha also pressurised Paundra’s valorous son Sudeva, who was the lord of an aksauhini army (to arrive in the marriage.

The valorous son of Ekalavya, the son of Pandyaraja, the lord of Kalinga country Venudari who had been antagonised by Shri Krishna, Amsuman the son of Kratha, Srutadharma — king of Kalinga who defeated his enemies, the king of Gandhara country and the immensely valorous king of Kausarhbi, were forcibly invited by Jarasandha.

Then Bhagadatta with the vast army, Sala, the valorous Salva, BhUri Srava with his vast army and the valorous Kuntivirya, joined the marriage party of Sisupala, reached the palace of Bhojaraja Bhismaka.

Janamejaya said — О best of Brahmanas, in which race was Rukmi — the foremost of those well versed in the Vedas was bom? To which country did he belong?

Vaishampayana said — О king, Rajarsi Yadava had a son named Vidarbha, who lived in the south — west of the Vindhya mountain.

Vidarbha had several valorous sons like Kratha, Kausika and others, who possessed enormous prowess and formed various dynasties.

The kings of Vrsnivarhsa were born from Bhlma of the Yddava family. In the family of Kratha, Bhismaka was born in the Varhsa of Amsuman and Kausika.

Bhismaka was also known by the name of Hiranyaroma and Daksinatyesvara, who while living at kundanpura ruled the southern region, under the parentage of the sage Agastya.

О lord of the people, Rukmi was the son of the same king Bhishmaka and Rukmini was his daughter. The valorous Rukmi had achieved the divine weapons from Druma- the rulers of Kimpurasa country. He had also received Brahmatra from Parasurama, the son of Jamadagni. Rukmi was always jealous of Shri Krishna who performed the astonishing deeds.

Rukmini on the other hand possessed the beauty the parallel of which could not be found on earth. Shri Krishna became desirous of her, on knowing about her.

Similarly, Rukmini too became desirous of Shri Krishna on learning about him. She desired Shri Krishna possessing enormous strength lustre and strength to be her husband.

The valorous Rukmi was jealous of Shri Krishna, therefore, he did not giver his sister in marriage to Shri Krishna. Rukmi felt grieved at the death of Kamsa, He always thought Krishna as the killer of Kamsa. Because of this he refused to give his sister in marriage to Shri Krishna, even when a request for the same for made to him.

Jarasandha, the lord of earth, had asked for the hand of Rukmini from the immensely valorous Bhismaka, for Sisupala, the son of Sunitha — the king of Chedi country.

Brhadratha was the name of the son of Chedirdja who could fly above, and who in earlier times had built a city named Giriraja in the Magadha country.

Jarasandha was born in the same family. In the Uparichara Vasu’s family Damaghosa was born who was the king of the Chedi country.

Damaghosa had five terribly valorous sons, who were born out of the womb of Vasudeva’s sister Srutasrava.

They were known by the names of Sisupala, Dasagriva, Raibhuja, Upadisa and Bali. All of them were well versed in the use of all the weapons, besides being quite strong and valorous.

Jarasandha was a family man or a house holder, and was born in the similar family. Therefore Sunitha (Damaghosa) had entrusted the care of Sisupala to Jarasandha, who treated Sisupala like his own son and protected him well.

Making Jarasandha — the enemy of the Vrsnivamsa, the king of Chedi country, antagonised the rulers of Vrsnivamsa variously.

Kamsa was the son-in-law of Jarasandha. When Karhsa was killed at the hands of Krishna in the battle, then Jarasandha developed enmity with all the people of Vrsnivarhsa.

Jarasandha had demanded Rukmini from Bhishmaka for the sake of Sisupala — the son of Sunitha. The valorous Bhishmaka had verbally agreed to this proposal.

Then the king Jarasandha, with Dantavaktra — assisting him, went to Vidarbha country.

Then the intelligent Paundraka Vasudeva supported Jarasandha in this case. The valorous Jarasandha was also the emperor of Anga, Vanga and Kalitiga countries.

Rukmi welcomed them in order to honour the monarchs. Thus treating them well, he got them into the city.

Balarama and Shri Krishna also went there for the delight of their father’s sister. The other valorous warriors also reached there from Mathura.

Bhishmaka the lord of Kratha — Kausika country lodged them outside, adoring them at the same time.

When only a day was left in the perfoming of the marriage, then the princess Rukmini, undergoing all the welfare rites, with the decoration of her body, went to the temple for the adoration of Indranl. She mounted over the chariot driven by four horses and came out of the royal palace in Jyestha constellation, surrounded by the soldiers of the army.

At that point of time, lord Krishna spotted Rukmini, who was looking beatiful like Laksmi, standing near the temple of the god.

She appeared like the fire flame, Devamaya, having descended on earth or the goddess earth standing in quite a serious mood.

Looking at her, it appeared as if the pleasent rays of the moon taking to the form of a damsel had descended on earth. Or she was like Laksmi without lotus or the helper for Laksmi, who was to appear in future, she was the one who could be difficult in access even for the gods. Such a type of Rukmini was viewed by Shri Krishna to his heart’s content.

She was of sixteen years of age. Her complexion was fair. Her eyes were beaming. Her lips and eyes were red like copper. The thighs, buttocks and the breasts were quite developed and thick.

Her body was long and thin. All her limbs were quite pleasent to look at. Her face was beaming like the moon. The nails were raised and red. Her eyebrows were charming, while the hair of head was black and curly.

She looked with charming beauty. Her breasts were fatty and her shoulders were raised. She had shiming teeth.

No other damsel of the world could be compared with her in beauty, glory, and appearance. She was clad in the spotless shining Saree and looked like a goddess full of beauty.

As the fire gets in flame, with the pouring of ghee, similarly at the sight of the princess, the desire in the mind of Shri Krishna to get her was ignited. He sacrificed his heart for her.

Thereafter, the valorous Krishna in consultation with the people of the Vrsni race, discussed with Baladeva, the future course of action.

In the meantime, after completion of her puja, Rukmini came out of the temple. Shri Krishna suddenly arrived there at that time, carried her in his lap and reached his chariot.

On the other hand, Balarama too uprooted a huge tree, killed the enemy with the same. At that point of time, at the command of Balarama, all the Yadu warriors got ready to wage a war, tightening their girdles.

All of them took positions surrounding Balarama from all the sides.

The valorous Shri Krishna left on Balarama and his warriors to manage the battle and at once proceeded towards Dvaraka.

On the other hand Dantavaktra, Jarasandha and valorous Sisupala putting on the coats of arms came out with the desire of killing Shri Krishna getting enraged and got out of the city.

The valorous Chediraja, Sisupala accompanied with the warriors of Anga, Vanga and Kalinga countries, went out for war with three brothers.

At that point of time, the warriors of the Vrsni race, made Balarama to lead them as the gods make Indra to lead them and stopped the enemies from advancing.

In the great war, Satyaki injured Jarasandha shooting half a dozen arrows.

Akrura wounded Dantavktra with the shooting of nine arrows. Then Dantavaktra, the king of Kurasa country retaliated by shooting of ten arrows wounding Akrura.

Viprthu shot seven arrows at Sisupala and wounded him. Then Sisupala shot eight arrows and shattered Viprthu.

Thereafter Gavesna shot six arrows, Atidanta shot eight arrows and Brhaddurga shot five arrows and deeply injured Sisupala too relaliated by shooting five arrows at each one of them. With the shooting of the four arrows, he killed all the four horses of Viprthu’s chariot.

Not only this Sisupala, the destroyer of enemies, cut off the head of Brhaddurga with the use of a bhalla (spear) besides killing the charioteer of Gavesana. Thereafter the valorous Viprthu, deserting his chariot without horses, soon mounted the chariot of Brhaddurga.

The charioteer of Viprthu also at once mounted the chariot of Gavesana and tried to take control of the horses there.

Then Viprthu, getting enraged, holding the bow and arrows, advanced like dancing over the road, started showering arrows at Sisupala.

Cakradeva on the other hand shot the arrows with wings tore out the chest of Dantavaktra. Then with the shooting of the five arrows, he injured Sadaratha in the war.

Thereafter both of them shooting sharp arrows which wounded the sensitive spots, injured Chakradeva as well. Then Bali the brother of Sisupala, shot ten arrows at Cakradeva.

Then he from a distance wounded Viduratha by shooting five arrows. Viduratha too injured Bali shooting six arrows at him.

In retaliation then valorous Viduratha was shot at by Bali with thirty arrows. On the other hand Krtavarma wounded Paundraka Vasudeva’s son with three arrows. He also killed his charioteer and also cut off the chariot flag.

Then the enraged Paundraka, shot six arrows retaliating at the same time and also cut off the banner of Krtavarma with the strike of a spear.

Nivrtta-Satru shot several sharp arrows wounded the king of Kalinga. Thereafter kalingagraja shot a tomara injuring the shoulder of the enemy.

The valorous Kanka attacked with his elephant wounded both Angaraja and his elephant. Thereafter Kanka was injured by Angaraja with shooting of several arrows.

On the other hand Citraka, Svaphalaka and the valorous Satyaka shot a hundred arrows at the army of Kalihga, shattering all the soldiers.

Then the enraged Balarama despatched the king of Vamga with his elephant to the abode of Yama, with the strike of a tree.

After killing the king of Vanga the valorous Balarama, holding a bow in his hand, mounted over a chariot. By shooting a large number of terrible arrows, he killed many of the Kausikas.

The immensely enraged Balarama, killed many warriors of the Kuriisa country by shooting six arrows besides killing a hundred warriors of the Magadha country, sending them to the abode of Yama.

Then Baladeva, the carrier of musala getting enraged shot eight arrows at Jarasandha, badly wounding him. He also cut off his golden flage with the strike of a spear.

With the showering of the arrows, killing the opponents a terrific battle was fought by warriors of both the sides like the war between the gods and the asuras.

The enraged hundreds of elephants fought with elephants, the chariots with chariots and the angry cavalrymen with the cavalrymen.

The foot soldiers holding spears, swords and shields, fought with the foot soldiers, cutting their heads started wandering in the battle field in separate groups.

The swords struck the coat of arms and the shooting of the arrows created sound which resembled the chirping of the birds.

With the stringing of the bows in the battle ground, striking of the arrows, playing of the drums and bigdrums, sounding of the creches and the sound of the tuning of the Veenas, besides the playing of double drums, created sound which echoed in the sky.
