A poem borrowing one of the plots of the Mahabharata
The divine sage Narada is in Dvaraka, the capital of the poison family, and transmits to Krishna, the leader of the poison and the earthly incarnation of the god Vishnu, a message from the king of the gods Indra asking him to deal with the king of the country Chedi Shishupala, who threatens gods and people with his evil deeds and intentions. The ardent Badrama brother of Krishna suggests immediately attacking Sisupala. But the wise Yadav advisor, Uddhava, an expert in the art of politics, advises Krishna to be restrained and wait for a suitable occasion to start a war. In the end, such an occasion appears when Krishna receives an invitation to visit the newly built Pandavian capital Indraprastha, where the coronation of the eldest among the Pandavic brothers Yudhisthira should take place.
At the head of a large army, Krishna emerges from Dvaraka to Indraprastha. He is accompanied by vassal kings and queens, reclining in luxurious palanquins, courtiers on horses and donkeys, many heters, dancers, musicians and ordinary citizens. The army passes along the shore of the ocean, caressing the waves of beautiful Dvaraka, like its bride, and at the foot of Mount Raivataka, the sun sets on one side and the moon rises on the other, making it look like an elephant, from whose back two shiny bells hang, recreation. And when the sun sinks into the ocean, warriors and courtiers, noble women and commoners, as if imitating it, perform evening bath. The night is coming, which has become for all those who were in the Yadav camp, a night of love joys and refined passionate pleasures.
The next morning, the army crosses the Yamuna River, and soon Indralrastha's streets are filled with an enthusiastic crowd of women who went out to admire the beauty and grandeur of Krishna. In the palace he is respectfully greeted by the pandavas, and then the time comes for the solemn coronation of Yudhisthira, which is attended by kings from all over the world, including King Sisupala. After the coronation, each of the guests is supposed to bring an honorary gift. The first and best gift of the grandfather of the pandals - the fair and wise Bhisma offers to offer to Krishna. However, Shishupal arrogantly claims this gift. He accuses Krishna of a thousand sins and crimes, among which he calls, in particular, the abduction of Krishna of his bride Rukmini, showers the leader of the Yadav with impudent insults, and finally sends him and his army a call to battle. Now Krishna has the moral right to fulfill Indra’s request: not he, but Sisupala was the instigator of the quarrel. In the ensuing battle, the Yadavas defeat the chedi army, and Krishna, at the end of the battle, demolishes the head of Sisupala with his battle disc.
