# Rana-Chor Lila

After transporting the Yadavas to Dwaraka, Krishna returned to Mathura to defeat the formidable army of Yavanas. Just then, the constantly-failing Jarasandha, arrived with yet more soldiers. Krishna made a unique decision to flee the battlefield! He and Balarama climbed to the top of Pravarsana mountain, and Jarasandha ignited a fire all around. The wicked King was convinced They were dead, but in actuality the two brothers bamboozled him by leaping to safety and mystically re-entering Dwaraka. This was yet another playful activity of the Lord, for Jarasandha would be killed in an ingenious way later.
