Mahapuraana Uttara Puraana
Then Krishna and Balarama, to conquer the enemies, with Jaya, Vijaya, Saaran, Angada, Dava, Uddhava, Sumukha, Padma, Jara, Sudrishti, the five Pandavas, Satyaki, Drupada, all the Yadavas, Virat, Dhristarjuna with an immeasurable army, Ugrasena, Chamar who desired war, Vidura and other kings, became excited and ready for war, and from there they went to Kurukshetra. ||73-76||
Jarasandha, who desired war, also arrived in front of Krishna with Bhishma, who was showing his anger (ego), Drona, Karna, Ashwatthama, Rukma, Shalya, Vrishasena, Kripa, Kripavarma, Rudhira, Indrasena, King Jayadratha, Hemprabha, the lord of the earth Duryodhana, Dushasana, Durmarshana, Durdharshana, Durjaya, King Kalinga, Bhagadatta, and many other kings. ||77-80||
At that time, the war drums were beating in Krishna's army, and just as the Kusumbha color dyes the cloth, so the sound of those drums rising up colored the hearts of the warriors. ||81||
Hearing those drums, some kings began to worship the gods, and some went to the gurus and took vows of non-violence, etc. ||82||
In front of the battle, some kings were saying to their servants, "You people wear armor, take sharp swords, string your bows, and prepare the elephants. Saddle the horses and get them ready, hand over the women to the officers, yoke the horses to the chariots, continuously consume the objects of enjoyment and enjoyment, and let the prisoners and Magadha people praise your valor." ||83-86||
At that time, some kings were ready to die for their lives, some out of devotion to their master, some out of natural valor, some out of jealousy for their enemies, some out of desire to gain fame, some out of greed to attain the state of heroes, some out of pride in their lineage, and some for other reasons related to war. ||87-88||
At that time, Shri Krishna was also very proud, wearing all ornaments and with saffron applied to his body, so that he looked like an elephant with vermilion applied to it. ||89||
"Victory to you," "May you live long,"
