Garga Samhita canto 7 chapters 3 to 5 mentioned Sisupala fighting against Lord Krsna’s son Praduymna, of course, He is not only Krsna’s son but the incarnation of Lord Krsna’s Caturvuyha expansion Lord Pradyumna, who is also the transcendental Kamadeva and worshipped as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 5 canto chapter 18-19..You might have read the pastimes in Krsna book and Srimad Bhagavatam about Pradyumna so Lord Pradyumna ended up fighting Sisupala (who is an incarnation of Jaya or Vijaya )and defeated him, and his father Damghosa paid the tribute to the Rajasurya Sacrifice:, so Sisupala used an elephant weapon and Lord Pradyumna invoked the “Narasimha Astra “<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Narasimha manifested on the Battlefield and scared and killed those elephants<\/span><\/p>\n

Translation<\/span>
\nThe hair on N\u1e5bsi\u1e41hadeva\u2019s head shook the clouds and scattered them here and there, His glaring eyes stole the effulgence of the luminaries in the sky, and His breathing agitated the seas and oceans. Because of His roaring, all the elephants in the world began to cry in fear.<\/span><\/p>\n

So this is from Garga Samhita 7canto chapter 3 to 5:<\/span>
\nShishupala applied Gajastra, which was awarded to him by Agastya Muni in the Malaya mountains. From this weapon came four streams of elephants, who began to destroy the Yadava army. To resist this weapon Pradyumna called on Narasimhaastra that produces monsters in the form of a half man-half lion, who began to devour these elephants. In the end, Shishupala grabbed his sword and shield, jumped from the chariot, and rushed to Pradyumna, as a moth throws itself on fire. Pradyumna burned down his sword and shield with his yamadanda, and then tied him with the bonds of Varuna. Then when Pradyumna raised his sword to kill Shishupala, Gada intervened and stopped him with the words: \u201cHe should only be killed by Krishna. This is the prediction of the demigods. You shouldn’t contradict the words of the celestials.” Then King Damaghosa arrived at that place and offered generous tribute to the Yadavas. Damaghosa embraced Pradyumna, begging him forgive Shishupala. So everything was settled and Yadava continued their conquests<\/span><\/p>\n

note :<\/span>
\nAs we know Sisupala made more offenses to Krsna during the performance of the Rajasurya sacrifice and Krsna cut off his head<\/span>
\nSo they were not only monsters but Lord Narasimha Himself invoked by Lord Pradyumna, that manifested in many forms and killed the Elephants by the Narasimha Astra that manifested Lord Narasimha Himself.<\/span><\/p>\n
