MOTHER MAHALAKSHMI OF KOLHAPUR

After centuries precisely on the death of Kamsa, Jarasandha, the king of Magadha and a close ally of Kamsa, with a view to breaking vengeance began a series of military campaigns against Yadu clans, ruling with Mathura as their capital. But was repelled by the heroic yadus for 17 times. Under the advice of the well-wisher Vikadru, Krishna and Balarama moved towards Karvir, but Parasuram chancing to meet them advised to launching of giri yuddha - hill warfare from Gomantak, as Karvir was ruled then by a cruel monarch by name shringar. Acting upon the sage counsel, the brothers gave a crushing defeat to Jarasanda. Soon after the victory, Krishna and Balaram helped Chediraj, their distant Kinsman in his battle against Shringar. After killing him, they enthroned Sakradeva, the son of Chediraj. So the rule of Yadava clan thus became paramount in the Deccan region too.
