Kamsudu (Kamsa) – 2


After that Kalanemi born as Kamsudu. He was very strong and defeated many kings. Once he fought with king of Magadha, Jarasandhudu. The war was going on at the coast of Yamuna. There came the royal elephant of Jarasandhudu by pulling away its tied chains and hitting all whoever comes in the way.
 Everybody ran away by watching the elephant. But Kamsudu stayed where he was and fought with the elephant. He caught hold the trunk of the elephant lifted it and thrown it on the army of Jarasandhudu. By this many soldiers in the army died. Jarasandhudu became astonished with this and thought that fight with Kamsudu will not be good to him. He made friendship with Kamsudu and performed the marriage of his two daughters Asthi and Prasthi with him.
Then Kamsudu went to  mountain Rushyamooka, there he fought with a king named Kesi and defeated him. At that time he pulled out the mountain easily. There he met Parasuramudu. Kamsudu saluted him with reverence.
 But Parasuramudu hates kings and he killed many kings. So, he asked Kamsudu to string  the bow of Lord Vishnu.
 Kamsudu did that. Parasuramudu became surprised with that and gifted that bow to Kamsudu and told that he can defeat all his enemies with that bow. Kamsudu became very happy with this. But Parasuramudu told that “remember this is a great bow, whoever breaks this will kill the owner of this bow”. Though Kamsudu felt bad about it but as he could not do anything at that time he took leave from Parasuramudu and went off.
