English	Kaṁsa arranged for a sacrifice called Dhanur-yajña, and so had placed a large bow near the sacrificial altar. The bow was wonderful and resembled a rainbow. It was protected by a number of guards, who warned Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma not to go near it. But Kṛṣṇa ignored the warning and took the large bow in His left hand. ��
