Balarama's Wrestling Win

 Yes! You read the title right, Balaram (Krishna's elder brother a.k.a swaroopa of Adi Shesha) single-handedly killed Dhenuka (a.k.a Dhenukasura) while wrestling. So, here's the story. 

Once, Krishna, Balarama and the other cowherds wandered into the forest in the north of mount Govardhana as their cows grazed along. While playing, Krishna smelt the fragrance of the berries in the nearby trees and showed his temptation to eat them to his friends. Even though all his friends and Balarama refused to enter the area of Dhenuka, the asura who was claimed to have eaten all the people and animals that wandered into his area, Krishna truthful to his name Manmohan (defn. the charmer), he charmed his way across to bewitch Balarama with his power of words. With no other choice, Balarama had to enter the area. He soon found a tree full of juicy berries and shook it with a huge force that it started raining berries. 

All the gopas rushed and started munching them which awoke a sleeping Dhenuka. Angry for 2 things, one-waking him up and two-entering his area, he took the form of a donkey and rushed upto Balarama.

Balarama then in order to protect his friend and younger brother Krishna, wrestled him to death. In his final moments only, did he realize that the person he was fighting no ordinary shepherd but a godly person.

As he asked for forgiveness and accepted all his mistakes, Krishna and Balarama showed their daivik forms and blessed him moments before his death.

But, the fight didn't just stop then. They were attacked by dhenuka's allies and his demon attendants. Even though Balarama mcould've handled them all single-handedly, Krishna stepped in and lent a hand to his brother.
