Hearing the words of Amit Singh, Krishna was highly enraged and said, “O Amit Singh! I shall now destroy your body and make you lifeless.”1252.
SWAYYA
When Krishna fought for two Pahars (about six hours), the enemy Amit Singh got pleased and said, “O Krishna! although you are still a child, but you are skillful in warfare, you may ask for whatever you want.”
Krishna said, “Tell me the manner of your death.” Then Amit Singh said, “No one can kill me from the front.” Then Krishna struck a blow on him behind.1253.
The head of Amit Singh was cut, but still he ran and moved forward and he struck a dreadful blow on an elephant of the army
After killing the elephant and many warriors, he rushed forward towards Krishna
His head fell down on the ground, which was given a place of Meru by Shiva in his rosary of skulls.1254.
DOHRA
The mighty warrior Amit Singh had waged a terrible war
Just as the light moves out from the sun and moon, in the same manner, his light, coming out from his body, merged in Lord-God.1255.
SWAYYA
The remaining army of the enemy fought with Krishna
They even stood firmly without their king and in their fury, they strengthened their heart
The army gathered together and fell upon Krishna just as during night, seeing the earthen lamp, the insects move towards it and fall upon it.1256.
DOHRA
Then Krishna, taking his sword in his hand, knocked down many of his enemies
Someone fought someone stood firmly and many sped away.1257.
CHAUPAI
Krishna destroyed the army of Amit Singh and there was great lamentation in the enemy’s army
On that side, the sun set and the moon arose in the east.1258.
The warriors were exhausted and weakened by the continuous fight during the whole day
Both the armies started moving back and on this side, Krishna also returned home.1259.
End of the chapter entitled “Killing of Amit Singh alongwith his army in warfare” in Krishnavatara in Bachittar Natak.

DOHRA
Then during night, Jarashandh called all the kings, who wre equal in strength to Indra and equal in beauty to the god of love.1260.
Krishna has killed eighteen kings in the war
Is there anyone now, who will go and wage war with him?1261.
There were seated five chief kings named Dhum Singh, Dhvaj Singh, Man Singh, Dharadhar Singh and Dhaval Singh.1262.
All the arose and bowed in the court and said, “As soon as the day dawns, we shall kill Balram, Krishna and his army.”1263.
SWAYYA
The kings said to Jarasandh, “Do not worry, we shall go to fight
If you command, we shall tie him down and bring him here or we may kill him there
“We shall not recede in the battlefield by Balram, Krishna and Yadavas
Even slightly, we shall make them lifeless fearlessly with one blow of the sword.”1264.
