In the Harivamsha Purana,
"You yourselves clearly state what wrong I have done to you, due to which you have entered the belly of the ocean, filled with fear." (42)
"Although you have taken refuge in the fort due to being guilty, you are not afraid of me, you come and bow to me." (43)
"If you stay here in the fort, without bowing, then I will drink the ocean and with my forces, I will make you suffer." (44)
"When your presence was unknown, you had the strength of time and place, but now that you are known, how can you have the strength of time and place?" (45)
"Hearing the words of the messenger, all the kings, including Krishna, became angry and with furrowed brows, they said, "Your king, whose death is near, is coming with all his forces, so we will honor him with war. We are eager for battle." (46-47)
"Saying this, the Yadavas dismissed the messenger. He, struck by their harsh words like a thunderbolt, went to his master and reported everything, thus fulfilling his duty." (48)
"After the messenger left, the ministers, Vimala, Amala, and Shardula, skilled in counsel, consulted with King Samudravijaya and said, "O King! Since peace will be the cause of peace for both our side and the other side, let us use peace with Jarasandha. This group of princes, etc., is all our own people. In a war full of danger, there is doubt about their well-being." (50-51)
"Just as our army has warriors who shower down unerring arrows, so too is Jarasandha's army famous in the world." (52)
"In the midst of war, the death of even one of our own people would be a cause of sorrow, just as it would be for the enemy." (53)
"Therefore, for the good of all, peace is the most commendable course of action. Therefore, let a messenger be sent to Jarasandha from us, without arrogance, for the sake of peace." (54)
