KRISHNA KILLS SHALVA

When Shalva attacked Dwaraka, intending to kill Krishna, Krishna was out of town. Therefore, Krishna’s son Pradyumna led the fight against Shalva.

The battle raged for 27 days, destroying most of Shalva’s soldiers, but Shalva himself seemed impossible to kill. Not knowing what else to do, the soldiers of Dwaraka prayed for Krishna to come and help.

When Krishna arrived, Shalva attacked Him at once. Then Krishna and Shalva fought with their mighty clubs. They battered each other with total abandon, until at last, Krishna ended the fight by calling for His Sudarshana Chakra to cut off Shalva’s head.
