Reading Notes: Naraka and Bana, Part B

Indra visited Krishna in Dwarka and told him that Naraka is nearly invincible. He took the sea's umbrella, took Mandara Mountain's jeweled crest and his mother's earrings. The earrings gave out ambrosia at the will of the owner. He then demanded Indra'a elephant so Indra asked Krishna to come help him kill him. Krishna agreed and Vishnu's eagle, Garuda appeared, Indra got on his elephants back and they all went to Pragjyothisha city.
Muru, a demon designed the city which had turrets, moats, and magic nets to capture the enemies. Krishna on the eagle flew over the arrows from the turrets, the moats and the nets. He cut the nets with his sword, dried up the moats with his fiery discus and battered down the walls of the city with his mace. Muru was at the bottom of the moat hiding under the water, when it dried up he had 5 heads, he had a trident that he tried to rush Krishna with. Krishna shot 5 arrows and they each hit Muru's head and he died. Within the city the 7 sons of Muru and Naraka's army tried to fight Krishna and Indra off but Krishna's arrows killed the sons and his sword killed the others so the army fled.
In the city they found all of the missing items as well as stables full of animals, and thousands of princes that were kidnapped and being held. They were all sent back to Dwarka.
