Salva attacks Dwaraka

Krishna said - Listen to me Yudhistira. When I came to your sacrifice, Shishupala died in my hands. Being a friend of Shishupala, Salva was angry. He attacked Dwaraka with along with his army. To avoid him, all the bridges coming towards Dwaraka were drawn up. The roads were laid with iron nails. The waters nearby were poisoned. All the wealth was hidden away.

When Salva came, the brave warriors of Dwaraka came out to fight. Salva had a general who came and fought with Sambha, son of Jambavati. The general could not withstand Sambha's weapons and had to flee. Pradyumna, son of Rukmini also fought bravely and killed many demons.

Seeing his army being destroyed, Salva came to the battlefield. Sambha came and fought with him. Pradyumna and Sambha bravely fought Salva and he fell senseless. When the demon came to his sense, he used to his magic and Sambha nad Pradyumna fainted. Seeing them faint, their charioteers took them and started fleeing. When Pradyumna came to his senses, he said fleeing was not the task of a brave warrior and commaned the charioteer to return back.

Pradyumna fought but was unable to control Salva. He then decided to use divine weapons on Salva, but the Gods intervened. They said these weapons would get wasted but Salva would not die. Salva was destined to die in the hands of Krishna.
