It is related that Prince Ariṣṭanemi once visited the armoury of Kṛṣṇa Vāsudeva, and to satisfy the curiosity of certain friends made the discus of Kṛṣṇa spin like a potter's wheel, bent the Sāraṅga bow as if it were made of lotus stalk, separated the mace-head from the famous Kaumodaki mace and placed it on the top of a pillar, and blew the famous conchshell Pāñchajanya. Kṛṣṇa, hearing the uproar, came to the armoury and invited Ariṣṭanemi for a competition in the gymnasium.
