In the Harivamsha Purana, the sons of Magadha, who were enemies of Krishna, were valiant warriors. They were led to their deaths by Krishna, who severed their heads with his crescent-shaped arrows. ||45|| Then Jarasandha himself, filled with rage, aimed his bow at Krishna and charged towards him in his chariot. ||46|| The battle between these two mighty warriors, who were filled with animosity, was fierce and terrifying, with divine weapons being hurled at each other. ||47|| Jarasandha, in a hurry to kill Madhava, unleashed a Naga astra, a weapon that shone like a thousand fires. ||48|| The ever-vigilant Shouri, to counter the Naga astra, released the Garuda astra, which quickly devoured the Naga astra. ||49|| Jarasandha then released the Samvartaka astra, a weapon as terrifying as a storm cloud, but Madhava countered it with the Mahaashvasana astra, a powerful wind. ||50|| The Magadha king, skilled in the use of weapons, released the Vayavya astra, but the son of Vasudeva countered it with the Antariksha astra. ||51|| Jarasandha then unleashed the Agneya astra, a weapon capable of burning, but Shouri countered it with the Varuna astra. ||52|| The Magadha king, filled with rage, released the Vairochana astra, but Upendra countered it with the Maheindra astra. ||53|| In the battle, the enemy released a Rakshasa astra, but Narayana countered it with the Narayana astra, driving away the enemy. ||54|| Jarasandha then released the Tamasa astra, but Krishna countered it with the Maskara astra. Jarasandha then released the Ashvagriva astra, a very sharp weapon, but Krishna countered it with the Brahma shiras astra. ||55|| The enemy released many other divine weapons, but Vasudeva countered them all and remained steadfast, unharmed. ||56|| When all his efforts proved futile, Jarasandha threw his bow to the ground and contemplated the Chakra Ratna, protected by a thousand Yakshas. ||57||
