Either we should go to receive him or leaving the city, run away to some other place
This is a very serious matter, nothing will result from mere talk now.”1928.
SORTHA
Ultimately it was decided to leave the city and abide at some other place, otherwise the powerful king Jarasandh would kill all.1929.
Only that decision should be taken, which is liked by all
Merely the persistence of the mind should not be accepted.1930.
SWAYYA
Hearing about the coming of the enemy, the Yadavas started moving out of Matura with their families
They pleased in hiding themselves on a big mountain
The king Jarasandh besieged the mountain and it appeared that in order to destroy the people waiting on the bank to cross the river, the warriors of clouds were rushing towards them from above.1931.

Then Jarasandh said to his ministers, “This is a very big mountain and the army will not be able to ascend it.1932.
SORTHA
“Besiege the mountain from all the ten directions and set it on fire
And with this fire all the families of the Yadavas will be burnt.”1933.
SWAYYA
The poet Shyam says that surrounding the mountain from all the ten direction, it was set on fire
With the blowing of the powerful wind, the fire burst into flames
When the straws, trees, beings etc. were all destroyed in an instant, those moments were very agonising for the yadavas.1934.
