After a long battle, King Krishna realised his forces were losing. Hit with an arrow on his shoulder, the King fled into a forest nearby while being followed by his foes.
By sunset, he had lost a great deal of blood and had fallen unconscious near a lake. His enemies couldn’t spot him and retreated for the evening.
