In ancient times, amidst the tales of Sri Krishna’s era, there existed Poundrik Vasudev, known as the “Alternate Vasudev,” a master of deception. Poundrik ruled over Pundra and donned the crown of Kashi, employing an “alternate Sudharshan Chakra” and other clever ruses to maintain his false divine authority. His cunning schemes even ensnared the King of Kashi and others who were skeptical of Sri Krishna. However, Poundrik’s deceit eventually unraveled in a confrontation with the real Sri Krishna, leading to his downfall.
