All eyes were on Krishna and Balarama when They entered the wrestling arena. Their beauty was so enchanting that anyone who saw Them could not turn their gaze away from Them.
When the people saw the two brothers, they felt that it was unfair to have a match that set grown up men against there two young boys.
King Kamsa sat on a decorated platform in the part of the arena that had the best view. He was surrounded by his evil ministers who had all come to see Krishna and Balarama being killed.
This was the day that Kamsa had waited for since ten years. He had plotted to kill the eighth son of Devaki, as that child was to be the cause of his death.
Kamsa could not wait to see his Angel of Death, Krishna be killed by the powerful wrestler Chanura. Kamsa did not care that Krishna and Balarama were small boys aged only ten years.
He wanted Them killed somehow, so that he would not be killed by Krishna.
Krishna and Balarama first wrestled with Chanura and Mushtika. The two wrestlers were easily killed by Krishna and Balarama. King Kamsa then sent more wrestlers to fight with and kill the two boys, but these strong men were all also killed.
The crowd cheered the victory of Krishna and Balarama. While the people clapped, the band played. Bugles and trumpets sounded and there was excitement in the arena.
Hearing the cheers of the crowd, Kamsa grew angrier. "Drive these two boys out of Mathura! Take away all the riches of the cowherd men who have come here with Them from Vrindavana! Arrest Nanda Maharaja and kill him! Kill Vasudeva and my father Ugrasena, who have supported Them, as well!" screamed Kamsa, whose fear had now gone out of control.
Knowing that the time had come for his own death in the hands of Krishna, Kamsa tried to defend himself with his soldiers and power.
But he could not succeed to do so. Hearing the tyrant Kamsa speak, it was Krishna's turn to be angry now. His parents, Nanda and Vasudeva, His grandfather Ugrasena and all His friends were in danger of being destroyed by this hateful and cruel king.
He had to put an end to Kamsa's demonic plans.
