Then Shishupala released the angararastra given to him by Parasurama on Mount Mahendra. When this weapon is also was neutralized by Pradyumna,
Shishupala applied gajastra, which was awarded to him by Agastya Muni in the Malaya mountains. From this weapon came four streams of elephants, who began to destroy the Yadava army. To resist this weapon Pradyumna called on Narasimhaastra that produces monsters in the form of a half man-half lion, who began to devour these elephants.
In the end, Shishupala grabbed his sword and shield, jumped from chariot and rushed to Pradyumna, like a moth throws itself on fire. Pradyumna burned down his sword and shield with his yamadanda, and then tied him with the bonds of Varuna. Then when Pradyumna raised his sword to kill Shishupala, Gada intervened and stopped him with the words: “He should only be killed by Krishna. This is the prediction of the demigods. You shouldn't contradict the words of the celestials."
