The Rajsuya Yagna
The Rajsuya Yagna
 Shortly after this, Arjuna and Subhadra (Krishna's sister) get married and return to Indraprastha to be welcomed by Draupadi.
Here, Yudhishthir seeks Sri Krishna's advice on performing the Rajsuya Yagna which will make him the emperor of India.
Krishna advises him that Jarasandh who has emprisioned 86 kings must be killed as he may interfere in the ceremony.
Hence Yuddhisthir decides to send Krishna, Bheem and Arjuna to challenge Jarasandh for combat.
Jarasandh chooses to fight with Bheem. Bheem and Jarasandh were so equally matched in strength that they fought for nearly fourteen days without rest.
When Jarasandh finally showed signs of exhaustion, Krishna prompted Bheem to make an end of him.
After Jarasandh had been destroyed, Jarasandh's son was crowned King of Magadh. The Rajsuya Yagna is celebrated and Yudhishthir is recognized as an Emperor.
