Mam ekam sharanam vraja (surrender unto me) said Sri Krishna. Pandavas too refuge in Him and as requital Sri Krishna took the responsibility to provide them Yogakshema (Prosperity & Welfare). Sri Krishna strategically removed their enemies one by one by.
All those who were stained were prominent allies to Kauravas. Astonishingly Sri Krishna used a tactical way to eliminate them. Let us see who were those allies.
Hamsa and Dimbaka were two friends who were ministers to Kamsa. They were invincible warriors so Balarama fought with a king whose name was Hamsa and killed him. Hearing about it Dimbaka concluded it to be his friend and jumped into water of Yamuna and died. Hamsa heard about the death of Dimbaka and he too Jumped into Yamuna and died.
Kalyavana was also invincible warrior who attacked Mathura. Sri Krishna trapped him inside a cave and was killed. The story is interesting, King Muchukunda of solar dynasty helped Indra to fight against Asuras and wished to take rest. Indra granted him slumber. He told who ever woke him up will burn to death. Sri Krishna challenged Kalyavana at the battle and ran away from the battle field, Kalyavana followed. Sri Krishna entered the cave and hit there. Kalyavana mistook sleeping Muchukunda to Sri Krishna and woke him. He was reduced to ashes.
Sishupala was killed by Sri Krishna at the time of Rajasuya Yagna Krishna was looking for an opportunity and justified killing of Sishupala for badmouthing which as promised to the mother of Sishupala had tolerated 100 abuses and on the count of 101 Sri Krishna hurled his Sudarshana and killed him.
Hearing about the death of Sishupala, his friend King Salva decided to attack city of Dwarka and destroy it. That was a fierce battle
Salva was a master magician. He decided to make himself appear as Devaki and approached Sri Krishna. Tears in the eyes imposter Devaki told Sri Krishna about Vasudeva's death. Sri Krishna knew about this trick He
cut off Salva’s head with the Sudarshana Chakra.
Poundraka Vasudeva was ally of Jarasandha who dressed like Sri Krishna and imitated Him. He fooled many Kings who believed him to be Sri Krishna. He challenged probably to take revenge of killing Sishupal and Salva who were his friend. In that war Ekalavya famous for gifting his thumb to Guru Dronacharya also attacked Dwarka.
Dantavakra who was a cousin of Krishna also attacked Dwarka. Poundraka, Ekalavya, Dantavakra were all killed.
Thus before the war many great warriors were eliminated.
Sri Krishna is Pandava Pakshapathi….
