Seeing Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma fleeing on foot as if They were ordinary terrified human beings, Jarāsandha laughed aloud. At first he was determined not to keep the promise he made to the brāhmaṇas. Then, with many chariot warriors pursuing Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma as They ran south to Mount Pravarṣaṇa, he remembered his words to the brāhmaṇas.
