The Killing of Satrajit and SatadhanvaIIboth Kr!la and Balarama, along with Satyabhama, the wife of Kr!la,immediately returned toDvaraka and began to make plans to killSatadhanva and take away the jewel. Although he was a great outlaw inthe city Satadhanva was still very much afraid of Kr!la 's power, and thushe bec'ime most afraid on Kr!la's arrival.Understanding Kr!la's plan to kill him, he immediately went to takeshelter of Krtavarma. But on being approached by him, Krtavarma said,"I shall never be able to offend Lord KH!la and .Balarama because Theyare not ordinary persons. They are the Supreme Personality of Godhead.Who can be saved from death if he has offended Balarama and Kr!la? Noone can be saved from Their wrath." Krtavarma further said that Kamsa,although powerful and assisted by many demons, could not be saved fromthe wrath of Kr!la, and what to speak of J arasandha, who had beendefeated by Kr!la eighteen times and each time had to return from thefighting in disappointment.When Satadhanva was refused help by Krtavarma he went to Akriiraand implored him to help. Akriira also replied, "Both Balarama and Kr!laare Themselves the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and anyone whoknows Their unlimited strength would never dare to offend Them or fightwith Them." He further informed Satadhanva, "Kr!la and Balarama are sopowerful that simply by willing They are creating the whole cosmicmanifestation, maintaining it and dissolving it. Unfortunately, persons whoare bewildered by the illusory energy cannot understand the strength ofKr!la, although the whole cosmic manifestation is fully under His control."He cited, as an example, that Kr!la, even at the age of seven years, hadlifted Govardhana Hill and had continued to hold up the mountain forseven days, exactly as a child carries a small umbrella. Akriira plainlyinformed Satadhanva that he would always offer his most respectfulobeisances to Krwa, the Supersoul of everything that is created and theoriginal cause of all causes. When Akriira also refused to give him shelter,Satadhanva decided to deliver to the hands of Akriira the Syamantakajewel. Then, riding on a horse which could run at great sped and up tofour hundred miles at a stretch, he fled the city.When Kr!la and Balarama were informed of the flight of Satadhanva,They mounted Their chariot, its flag marked by the picture of Garua,and followed immediately. Kr!la was particularly angry with Satadhanvaand wanted to kill him because he had killed Satrajit, a superior personality.Satrajit happened to be the father-in-law of Kr!la, and it is theinjunction of the siistras that anyone who has rebelled against a superiorperson, or gurudruha, must be punished in proportion to the volume of
12 Kra, the Supreme Personality of Godheadoffense. Because Satadhanva had killed His father-in-law, Kra was determinedto kill him by any means.Satadhanva's horse became exhausted and died near a garden house inMithila. Unable to take help of the horse, Satadhanva began to run withgreat speed. In order to be fair to Satadhanva, Kra and Balarama alsoleft Their chariot and began to follow Satadhanva on foot. While bothSatadhanva and Kra were running on foot, Kra took His disk andcut off the head of Satadhanva. After Satadhanva was killed, Krasearched through his clothing for the Syamantaka jewel, but He could notfind it. He then returned to Balarama and said, "We have killed thisperson uselessly because the jewel is not to be found on his body." SriBalarama suggested, "The jewel might have been kept in custody ofanother man in Dvaraka, so You'd better return and search it out." SriBalarama expressed His desire to remain in Mithila City for some daysbecause He enjoyed an intimate friendship with the king. Therefore, Krareturned to Dvaraka, and Balarama entered the city of Mithila.When the King of Mithila saw the arrival of Sri Balarama in his city, hebecame most pleased and received the Lord with great honor and hospitality.He presented many valuable presents to Balaramaji in order to seekHis pleasure. At this time Sri Balarama lived in the city for several years asthe honored guest of the King of Mithila, Janaka Maharaja. During thistime, Duryodhana, the eldest son of Dhrtaratra, took the opportunity ocoming to Balarama and learning from Him the art of fighting with a club.After killing Satadhanva, Kra returned to Dvaraka, and in order toplease His wife Satyabhama, He informed her of the death of Satadhanva,the killer of her father. But He also informed her that the jewel had notbeen found in his possession. Then, according to religious principles,Kra, along with Satyabhama, performed all kinds of ceremonies in honorof the death of His father-in-law. In that ceremony all the friends andrelatives of the family joined together.Akriira and Krtavarma, who were prominent members in the conspiracyto kill Satrajit, had incited Satadhanva to kill him, but when they heardof the death of Satadhanva at Kra's hand, and when they heard also thatKra had returned to Dvaraka, they both immediately left Dvaraka. Thecitizens of Dvaraka felt themselves threatened with pestilence and naturaldisturbances due to the absence of Akriira from .the city. This was a kindof superstition because while Lord Kra was present there could not beany pestilence, famine or natural disturbances. But in the absenc of Akriirathere were some disturbances in Dvaraka. Once in the province of Kasiwithin the barricade of Varaasi there was severe drought and practically
