Plan for Rajasuya Yagna

When Yudhistira was seated in his palace, there came Narada. Yudhistira got up and he and along with his brothers paid respect to the sage. Narada advised him to perform a Rajasuya yagna., to declare his supremacy and proclaim himself as emperor.

He called his brothers and counselors and wanted to know how to go about this. He was advised to consult Krishna and take his advise.
Krishna advised him to first defeat Jarasandha, the king of Magadha who had also captured and taken over Mathura, then Sisupala, Vaka,  the king of Karushas, Bhagadatta and the other might kings.

On Krishna's advise, Krishna accompanied by Bhima and Arjuna left for Magadha, to meet and defeat Jarasandha.
