Janmajeya asked the sage - What is this trouble? The sage said -
The sacrifice was about to start when the daitya Anusalva came to Hastinapura, looking for Krishna. He came with a huge army. He wanted to kill Krishna, who had killed his brother Salva.
Barring Yudhistira, the other brothers started a fight with Anusalva.
The daitya attacked and wounded Bhima and Sahadeva. The two fled. Seeing this, Arjuna attacked. The daitya broke all arrows of Arjuna and then shot arrows wounding Arjuna.
The Pandavas were in a fix. Somehow saving their lives they went to Krishna and asked him what to do.
Krishna smiled and holding a betel leaf in his hand and said Whoever can capture the daitya will get this from me.
Krishna's son, Pradyumna, said he will do that.
Pradyumna went and attacked Asusalva but had to flee. Krishna got angry and rebuked his son for having to flee from battle.
Krishna then went to attack and was wounded and he too had to flee.
Yudhistira heard this and was dumb struck. How could this happen? Yudhistira asked Vyasa why this happened. Vyasa said the sage Garga had cursed Krishna that he would have to suffer defeat and this is the result of the curse.
Vrishaketu decided to go and fight. Vrishaketu fought valiantly. Taking the name of Narayana, the brave warrior shot arrows at the daity and Anusalva fainted. Vrishaketu captured the daity and brought him as a prisoner to Yudhistira. Everyone praised the son of Karna.
Anusalva, regaining consciousness, saw himself in front of the Pandavas. Krishna blessed the daitya and he saw the Great Lord in front of him.
The daitya fell at Krishna's feet and begged for forgiveness. Yudhistira forgave the daity and asked him to return back. The daitya refused saying if he stayed back, he would get to see Krishna.
Yudhistira said If that was the case then Anusalva was to go with Arjuna and guard the sacrificial horse.
This pleased the daitya. he told his army to be ready to guard the horse.
