Jaraasandh |

Who were the allies of Jaraasandh when he attached Mathuraa. Was Shalya, King of Madra, a part of this alliance? Which kingdoms were allied with Jaraasandh? You can see Krishn's speech to
Yudhishthir in the Raajasooya Aarambh Parv in
Ganguli's MBH when he enumerates the allies of Jaraasandh. This is before
Krishn, Bheem and Arjun set out to kill Jaraasandh. Mainly I think the
allies of Jaraasandh were Shishupaal, King of Chedi Desh; Dantavakra;
Bheeshmak, King of Vidarbh Desh and his son Rukmee; Hans and Dimbak and his powerful
generals; his son-in-law Kans; Paundrak Vaasudev and a branch of the
Vrishni Yaadav. I don't think Shalya was the part of the alliance, although he
might have opportunistically joined him in the attack on Mathuraa. Jaraasandh's Daughter Vijayaa Killing of Jaraasandh,
