Jarásandha was king of Magadhá, and a very powerful prince; who, when he heard that Krishńa had killed his son-in-law, was much incensed, and, collecting a large force, marched against Mathurá, determined to put the Yádavas and Krishńa to the sword. Accordingly he invested the city with three and twenty numerous divisions of his forces. Ráma and Janárddana sallied from the town with a slender, but resolute force, and fought bravely with the armies of Magadhá. The two youthful leaders prudently resolved to have recourse to their ancient weapons, and accordingly the bow of Hari, with two quivers filled with 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 Magadhá and his hosts, and reentered the city in triumph. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition ### [5.22.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.22.2) mahābalaparīvāro magadhādhipatir balī hantum abhyāyayau kopāj jarāsaṃdhaḥ sa yādavam // > PARÁŚARA.--The mighty Kansa had married the two daughters of Jarásandha, one named Asti, the other Práptí.
