## The Fifty-Fifth Chapter
587
Even if Magadha does not become peaceful through diplomacy, we will do what is appropriate. What is the harm in trying diplomacy? || 55 ||
Thus, the ministers consulted with the king and informed him. Then, after consulting amongst themselves, they decided to send Lohjangha. || 56 ||
Lohjangha, a skilled, valiant, and wise prince, set out with his army to make a treaty with Jarasandha. || 57 ||
After reaching the Malava region, he established his army camp in the forest. There, he encountered two Jain monks, Tilakananda and Nandana, who were wandering in the forest, observing a fast for a month, following the rule of accepting food only if found in the forest. || 58 ||
Seeing them, Lohjangha welcomed them and offered them food and drink. As a result, he received five miracles. || 59 ||
From that day onwards, that place became a pilgrimage site called "Devavatar" on earth, and it became a cause for the pacification of the sins of thousands of beings. || 60 ||
The wise Lohjangha, a skilled diplomat, went to Jarasandha and explained the situation to him in private. || 61 ||
Jarasandha was very pleased with Lohjangha's words and agreed to a treaty for six months. || 62 ||
After receiving honors from Jarasandha, Lohjangha returned to Dwaraka and informed everyone about the victory over the sea and other matters, thus fulfilling his mission. || 63 ||
Then, for a year, the Yadavas focused on preparing for war, while maintaining peace. After a year was complete, Jarasandha, the one who fulfilled his great vow, arrived at the Kurukshetra battlefield, accompanied by a multitude of great vassals and an army that filled the directions like a sea. || 64-65 ||
Krishna, the other ocean, had already arrived there with his army, which was like a multitude of rivers. || 66 ||
At that time, many kings from the south, north, and west, who were connected to Vishnu, were ready with their entire armies. || 67 ||
