XaraSaRA said :— The mighty Kansa had married the two daughters of Járasandha, one named Asti, the other Prápti. Jarásandha was king of Magadha, and a very power- ful .prince ; who, when he heard that Krishna had killed his son-in-law, was much incensed, and, collecting a large force, marcjied against Mathurá, determined to put the Yadavas and Krshna to the sword. Accordingly lie iuvested the city with three and twenty numerous divisions of his forces. RSma and JanSrddana sallied from tlie tovvn with a slender, but resolute force, and fought bravely with tlie armies of Magadha. The two youthful leaders prudently resolved to have recourse to their ancient weapons, and accordingly the bovv of Hari, with tvvo quivers filled vvith exhaustless arrows and the mace called Kaumodaki, and the ploughshare of Balabhadra, as well as the club Saunanda, descended at a wish from heaven. Armed with these weapons, they speedily discomfited the king of Magadha and his hosts, and re-entered the city in triumph.
