Narada Muni said, “O King of Mithila, Pradyumna, bowing to Krishna, Balarama, Ugrasena and sage Garga, got on the chariot and left the city. He was followed by Uddhava and many warriors of Yadavas, Bhojas, Andhakas, Dasharhas and Madhu dynasty. Their innumerable army consisted of foot soldiers, cavalry, chariot and elephant warriors. Some the elephants were from the Airavata clan with four or three tusks. Looking around this majestic army, even the demigods were surprised.
