Pareekshiththu comes across Kali

Pareekshiththu was the son of Uththara and Abhimanyu. Actually ,he was named Vishnuraathudu. But he was searching every ones faces to find out who saved him while in the womb. So he was popularly called as Pareekshiththu.He married his maternal uncles daughter Airaavathi and had four sons ,Janamejaya and others.Under the auspicious supervison of Krupaacharyudu,he performed three Aswamedha yaagaas.It is said that all the deities came in their actual forms to receive the havissu,or fruits of Yagna. Once when he was touring the country,he came across an illiterate,who was in kings attire.That uncivilized person was thrashing an ox ,which on one leg and a cow which was weeping.Pareekshiththu realised that the man was Kali.Pareekshiththu stopped Kali from hurting those animals. Pareekshiththu actually started to conquer this world and started travelling.He won over Bhadraaswamu,Kethumoolamu,Ramyakamu,Hiranmayamu,Harivarshamu,Kimpurushamu,Bhaarathamu and other countries.He heard from the people of those countries about their previous kings.He came to know about Sree Krishna and how he helped pandavas in every aspect of life.Sree Krishna was pandavas charioteer,friend,relation,guide,well wisher,mentor,teacher,and what not.He also learnt how pandavas depended on him for every thing and how they respected him and treated him with fervor.At that time, Pareekshiththu came across dharma devatha in the form of an ox with only one leg and Bhoodevi ie Earth in the from of a cow weeping.He heard their discussion among themselves.
