Hastinapur

Then the Yadavas continued their march. Breaking camp near Hastinapur, Pradyumna sent Uddhava talk to Dhritarashtra. Dhrtarastra sat on the throne, surrounded by Bhishma, Vidura, Duryodhana, Sakuni, Sanjaya, Karna, Shalya, Drona, Kripacharya, Bhurishrava, Ashwatthama and many other heroes. Bowing down to Dhritarashtra, Uddhava informed him that King Ugrasena intends tox intends to perform the rajasuya yagya. Telling which kings were defeated by Pradyumna, Uddhava asked Dhritarashtra to pay tribute to the Yadava king. Uddhava said, that if they do not voluntarily pay the tribute, it will become the cause of the battle between the Kauravas and the Yadavas. Upon hearing this, all of the Kuru heroes were inflamed with anger and in response began to offend the Yadavs. They advised Uddhava and the other Yadavas to quickly return to Dvaraka, otherwise they will quickly send all the Yadavas to the abode of Yamaraja. Uddhava returned to the Yadava camp and told Pradyumna that happened in Hastinapura. Hearing from Uddhava insulting words of the Kauravas, Pradyumna in a rage grabbed Sharnga bow and with his huge army of Yadavs moved on Hastinapur. The enthusiastic Kaurava army withdrew from Hastinapura and rushed to the attack. Helping the Kauravas the army arrived from Indraprastha, and their total strength was sixteen akshauhini. Duryodhana fought with Pradyumna, Bhishma with Aniruddha, Bhanu with Dronacharya, and Samba with Bahlika. When Duryodhana killed a thousand Pradyumna's horses by thousands arrows, Pradyumna climbed on another chariot and released a powerful arrow from which Duryodhana's chariot rose into the sky and, spinning, collapsed to the ground, scattering to pieces. Duryodhana climbed another chariot, but again Pradyumna fired an arrow from which the Duryodhana's chariot soared into the sky. The second arrow of Pradyumna threw the chariot of Duryodhana still above, into the heavenly space, and with the third arrow sent the chariot into the Hastinapura palace that landed at the feet of Dhritarashtra and shattered into pieces. Having done this incredible miracle, the arrow returned to Pradyumna's quiver. Duryodhana fell unconscious with blood flowing from his mouth. The spirit of the Kaurava army was broken due to this event, however, the mighty Bhishma, entering the battle, created chaos in the ranks of the Yadavas. Then Aniruddha appeared before Bhishma, and a fierce battle ensued. When Bhishma threw a huge club at Anirudha, he caught it and threw back. The wounded Bhishma fell from the chariot to the ground. Then Samba showed unprecedented valor on the battlefield, surprising the warriors of both armies. Bhishma entered the battle again and together with Drona and Karna they began to brutally attack Yadavas. Then Krishna and Balarama appeared on the battlefield. The warriors on both sides laid aside their weapons and, with folded hands offered reverence to the two divine brothers, and even Duryodhana laid down his weapon and expressed to Them reverence. Krishna and Balarama approached Duryodhana, asking him to forgive Pradyumna's rude words. They convinced everyone that the Kauravas and Yadavas should not fight among themselves, being tied by family ties. So They established peace between the two dynasties
