Story of the Birth of Kalayavana – Enemy of Sri Krishna

Kalayavana was a powerful king who ruled the region around present day Afghanistan when the avatar of Sri Krishna was present on earth. Jarasandha, who was constantly attacking Mathura , had taken the help of Kalayavana to defeat Sri Krishna. The story of the birth of Kalayavana is found in the Vishnu Purana and explains why Sri Krishna was not able to kill him in a combat. Legend has it that Garga Rishi, an important Sage and head priest of the Yadava dynasty, was once ridiculed by the Yadavas as belonging to the third sex.
