Dantavakra

Dantavakra, the sworn enemy of Krsna. Like Shishupala, he became enraged, upon hearing of the arrival of the Yadavs, and decided to fight with Pradyumna. Servant of the demons, Dantavakra rejected advice from parents, roared: "I will destroy all Yadavas!" Carrying huge club, Dantavakra, pitch black, came out alone against the Yadavas. His appearance was terrible. High like ten thala trees, he walked, shaking the ground and uprooting trees and mountains. Seeing Dantavakra, the Yadavas were afraid. Furious at battle, Dantavakra grabbed the elephants and threw them a hundred miles as a strong wind throws pieces of cotton in different directions. He threw horses and chariots into the sky, which fell on the heads of the soldiers who spitting blood. The eighteen gallant sons of Krishna attacked Dantavakru, but he brutally beat them. Then Balarama, Kritavarman, Akrura, Satyaki and other warriors attacked demon. Samba rushed to Dantavakra, but he angrily knocked him to the ground. Samba got up and knocked down too Dantavakra. Then Pradyumna entered the battle. Seeing Pradyumna, Dantavakra began to vomit curses and insults. Pradyumna listened to all his insults, and then attacked him. With his mighty club, Dantavakra shattered Pradyumna's chariot to pieces, forcing a thousand of his horses flee. Pradyumna took his club, and the battle continued. The mighty Dantavakra raised Pradyumna and threw him to the ground. Pradyumna quickly got up and, tenaciously grasping Dantavakra, hit him violently against the surface of the earth, which blood gushed from the unconscious demon's mouth, with broken bones.
