Viṣṇujvara (विष्णुज्वर).—A great disease used by people to defeat their enemies. The antidote for Viṣṇujvara is Śivajvara. In ancient days, in the fight between Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Bāṇa, Śivajvara was sent against Śrī Kṛṣṇa by Bāṇa and to prevent it Śrī Kṛṣṇa sent Viṣṇujvara against Bāṇa. (Bhāgavata, Skandha 10).
