The demon devotee who ignited a war between Shiva and Krishna
In the great war of the Mahabharata, a total of 18 armies (Akshauhinis) fought in the Kurukshetra War.
There were only four people so absurdly powerful in those days: Balram, Jarasandha, Bheem and Duryodhan. And Balram was the most powerful of all these. In the traditions surrounding the Mahabharata and related texts, he is generally considered one of the most physically powerful warriors.
