context_page_description: Shishupala was the son of Damaghosha after whom descendants to Chedi Kings were named as ghosis a tribe of Yadavas in Chedi, by Srutashrava, sister of Vasudeva, Kunti & cousin of Baba Nanda. He was slain by Krishna, his cousin and an avatar of Vishnu, at the great coronation ceremony of Yudhishthira in punishment for the opprobrious abuse made against his august personage. He was also called Chaidya, being a member of Chedi kingdom.
  He and his maternal cousin Dantavakra are considered to be the third and last birth of Vishnu's gatekeepers Jaya-Vijaya. After their demise, each was allowed to reenter Vaikuntha.
