5. Krishn's Life in Detail

After Krishn had killed Kans, He killed many others also.

1. Jaraasandh -
After Krishn killed Kans, Jaraasandh got very angry with Him because He made his two daughters widow. So he used to attack Mathuraa to kill Him. Krishn knew his history and powers, so when Yudhishthir wanted to do his Raajsooya Yagya, He advised him to win Jaraasandh first. Since he was very mighty, he could not be won, he had to be killed. Now who will kill him? There was only one person who could think of fighting with him - Bheem. So He took Bheem and Arjun with Him and arranged a fight between them. The fight continued for 29 days, still neither Bheem could kill him, nor anybody could won each other. Then Krishn had to tell Bheem by sign as how to kill him. He followed His directions and killed him.

2. Kaalyavan -
Kaalyavan was a great friend of Jaraasandh. When he heard that Krishn had killed his friend Jaraasandh, he came to fight with Krishn. After a while Krishn ran away leaving the battle ground. He took him to a cave where King Muchukund was sleeping. He covered him with His Peetaambar (yellow cloth) and hid behind a wall. As Kaalyavan entered the cave he saw a man covered with Krishn's cloth, so he took him as Krishn and shouted - "O Krishn, You are sleeping here to cheat me. I know that it is you, I kill you just now, you cannot escape me now." Hearing his voice, Muchukund woke up and as he cast a look at Kaalyavan (that who was he who woke him like this?) he got burnt to ashes. Thus He killed Kaalyavan.

3. Shambaraasur,

4. Bhaumaasur -
Bhaumaasur was Prithvi's son. When Vishnu was bringing Prithvi out from the sea assuming Varaah form, He touched the Prithvi. Because of His touch, Prithvi gave birth to this Daitya. At the same time she asked a boon from Vishnu - "I wish that he should be killed by me only." Vishnu said - "So be it." Later when Bhaumaasur became very mighty and it was necessary to kill him, He took Satyabhaamaa with Him to kill him. Satyabhaamaa was the incarnation of Prithvi. When both were fighting He asked Satyabhaamaa to kill Bhaumaasur. She obeyed Him and killed Bhaumaasur. After killing him she asked Krishn that why He asked her to kill him. Krishn told her the whole story.

5. Paundrak -
This King considered himself as second Krishn and lived in the same guise. He used to abuse Krishn so He attacked him and
killed him in the battlefield.

6. Kaasheeraaj
Hearing the killing of his brother Paundrak, Kaasheeraaj created a Krityaa who followed Krishn to kill Him. But Krishn released His Chakra. Seeing it that Krityaa ran away and killed Kaashiraaj.

7. Shishupaal -
Shishupaal was Krshn's mother's sister's son. He was born with 4 arms and three eyes. Seeing this his mother got frightened and was going to throw him out, that an Aakaashvaanee said - "Do not throw him, he will be a very mighty king." Then she asked it - "Who will kill my son?" The Aakaashvaanee again said - "In whoever's lap his 2 arms and third eye fall down, he will be his killer." Since then his mother gave the child in everybody's lap to check who was going to kill her son. Once Krishn and Balaraam came to their house
with their mother to see the child. She asked them also to take the child. When Balaraam took the child, nothing happened
