Rajasiiya-yajia of Maharaja Yudhisthira. When all the Vrsnis were as-
sembled during the time of Pravaga-yajfia, his glorious activities were
narrated by Satyaki before Lord Baladeva. He was also present along with
his father Lord Sri Krsna during the Aévamedha-yajiia performed by
Yudhisthira. He was presented before some ssis falsely dressed as a preg-
nant woman by his brothers, and in fun he asked the rsis what he was
going to deliver. The rsis replied that he would deliver a lump of iron,
whieh would be the cause of fratricidal war in the family of Yadu. The
next day, in the morning, Samba delivered a large lump of iron, which
was entrusted with Ugrasena for necessary action. Actually later on there
was the foretold fratricidal war, and Samba died in that war.

So all these sons of Lord Krsna left their respective palaces and leaving
aside all engagements, including lying down, sitting and dining, hastened
towards their exalted father.
