Daruka

Daruka is assailed by King Shalva's arrows when he attacks Dvaraka after the death of his ally, Shishupala.

Krishna bids Daruka to inform his family at Dvaraka and the Pandavas at Indraprastha of the death of the Yaduvamsha clan, after his chariot ascends to the heavens.

The inhabitants of the forest sought the assistance of the sage Aurva, who declared that any rakshasa who attacked them further upon the earth would perish.

[5] When his wife, Dārukā, prayed to Parvati for mercy, the goddess urged her consort to spare her life.

Shiva assumed the form of a Jyotirlinga with the name Nageshvara in the site, while the goddess Parvati came to be venerated as Nageshvari.
