When Shishupal, along with Jarasandh, went to marry Rukmani then there was no one to oppose him. But Rukmani was deeply in love with Krishna and devoted him. Shishupal’s friend Rukmi wanted Shishupal to marry Rukmani. Shrutishrava said, “Krishna will kill my son.” But Krishna said he will not kill him till he makes a hundred mistakes. Just as Krishna touched Shishupal, his extra hands fell off and the third eye got closed. Krishna, with his father Vasudev went to see him. It is said, at the time of birth, he had three eyes and four hands. Vediraj Damghash had married Shrutishrava (Kunti’s sister) after which Shishupal was born. That way, he was Krishna’s younger brother. As such, Shishupal was the son of Kunti’s younger sister. In the Satyug, they became Kashyap’s sons Hiranyaksha and Hiranya Kashyap, in the Treta age as Ravan and Kumbhkarna and in the Dwapar age as Dantvaktra and Shishupal. It is said that Lord Krishna’s door keeper Jay- Vijay was cursed by the Sankadi Kumars that they will live as a demons for three births.
