Gandharvas

Yadavas went to the Damadugha River, where Vasantamalati, the city of the gandharvas, was located. The gandharva King Patanga, upon hearing of the arrival of the Yadavas, prepared for battle. And then a terrible battle began between the Yadavas and gandharvas. While x Patanga fought with great valor, a radiant effulgence suddenly appeared from the direction of Dvaraka. From this effulgence came Lord Balarama, dressed in blue garments. The enraged Lord hooked an army of Gandharvas with His plow and pulled them to Himself. When the Gandharvas managed to escape to their Vasantamalati city, Balarama uprooted the entire city and set out to throw it into the river. While Balarama was pulling the city towards Him, all the city palaces began to collapse, and the Gandharvas were seized with panic. King Patanga immediately appeared and with folded hands offered obeisances and immeasurable riches in the form of a tribute to Lord Balarama. Hearing prayers glorifying Him, Balarama became pleased with the gandharva king and everything was settled. Then Lord Balarama returned to Dvaraka.
