## Chapter Fifty-Two
On the second day, as the sun illuminated the earth, Jarasandha and Krishna, with their respective armies, emerged ready for battle. ||1||
Both armies, arrayed in formations similar to the previous day, with numerous kings in their ranks, were eager to engage in mutual destruction. ||2||
From his chariot, Jarasandha, seeing the Yadavas, addressed his minister Hansaka, who stood nearby: "O Hansaka, tell me the names and identifying marks of each Yadava, so that I may recognize them. What good is killing others?" ||3-4||
Hansaka replied: "My lord, there, shining like the sun, is Krishna's chariot, drawn by white horses like foam, adorned with golden chains, and bearing the Garuda flag. ||5||
"There is the chariot of the valiant Arishtanemi, drawn by green horses like parrots, adorned with golden chains, and bearing the flag of a creeper. ||6||
"O King, there is the chariot of Balarama, adorned with golden and ruby ornaments, drawn by horses the color of the fruit of the soapnut tree, and bearing the flag of a palm tree. ||7||
"There, shining brightly, is the chariot of the commander-in-chief, drawn by black horses and bearing the flag of a monkey. ||8||
"There is the chariot of Yudhishthira, the son of Pandu, drawn by horses with blue necks and adorned with golden chains. ||9||
"There is the great chariot of Arjuna, drawn by white horses like the moon, swift as the wind, and bearing the flag of an elephant. ||10||
"There is the chariot of Bhima, drawn by horses the color of blue lotuses, adorned with jewels and gold. ||11||
"In the midst of the Yadava army, there is the chariot of Samudravijaya, drawn by red horses and bearing the flag of a lion. ||12||
"There is the chariot of the young Akrura, adorned with golden and ruby ornaments, drawn by strong horses, and bearing the flag of a banana tree. ||13||
