Jarasandha
An asuri named Jara found the two halves and picked up one with her right hand, one with her left, holding each piece in her palm.Not having the heart to eat a living child, Jara took the baby to the king and explained to him all that had happened.While fighting, Krishna lures him into a mountain where the great king Muchukunda lay asleep.Indra tells Muchukunda to ask a boon as they can grant him anything but Muchukunda says that he doesn't want anything as helping them was his pleasure and that he just wants to return home, Indra sadly replies that though only 1 year has passed in Svarga 360 years have passed on earth and that all of his family had died.Jarasandha keeps attacking Mathura and eventually Krishna orders Vishvakarma, the divine architect, to craft a magnificent city near the sea which is done overnight, then Krishna transports the entire population of Mathura to the new city, which was named Dvaraka.When Jarasandha attacks again he sets the city of Mathura ablaze, Krishna and Balarama merely use their powers to go to Dvaraka unscathed.But in a short while, when Jarasandha was sitting in Dratharashtras court learns that Krishna has only changed the capital.In the Shanti Parva of Mahabharata, Jarasandha fought with Karna after the svayamvara of daughter (Bhanumati) of Chitrangada.Bhima understood the signal and when he managed to rip Jarasandha apart again, he threw the right half onto the left side and vice versa, killing him.
