Salva, Dantavakra and Viduranath Slayed

Chapter 76, 77, 78

Salva, who had been defeated at Rukmini’s abduction, worshipped Siva to gain revenge against the Yadus. Siva awarded him with a flying, iron city named Saubha. Thus equipped, Salva bombarded Dwaraka, but Pradyumna valiantly fended him off for many days. The battle between Salva and the Yadus lasted for twenty-seven days, until Krishna arrived back from Indraprastha. Defying Salva’s illusory tricks, Krishna released His spinning disc, Sudarshan Chakra, and killed the demoniac magician.

Dantavakra, Salva’s associate, took a vow to avenge his friend’s death, but Krishna effortlessly bludgeoned his chest. Viduranath, Dantavakra’s brother, also decided to attack Krishna, but he met a similar fate as Salva, being decapitated by the Sudarshan Chakra.

Having annihilated these demons, Krishna visited Vrindavana for two months, and then returned to Dwaraka.
