Banasur warns Krishna not to fight against Mahadev. Krishna finds it difficult to fight against Mahadev as he considers himself, his devotee. Mahadev makes Krishna realise that he has committed to protect Banasur. Krishna obeys Mahadev's advice, and fights against him in the battle field. The deities worry about the impact of the war. Krishna pays his gratitude to Mahadev. On Mahadev's insistence, Krishna uses his astra to attack him. Mahadev suffers by the effect of the same.
