His dominions having been on invaded and his relatives having escaped, his sire had been slain, O monarch, in battle by Krishna; securing weapons then from Bhishma, Drona and Rama and Kripa, he became, in the use of weapons, equal to Rukmi, Karna, Arjuna and Achyuta. He then became intent on destroying the city of Dvaraka and subjugating the whole world. But his wise friends out of a desire to do good to him. prevented him from that course. Abandoning all thoughts of revenge, he is now ruling his own dominions.
