Salya and Dhanthavakthra were close associates of Shishupala arrived in Dwaraka to take revenge on the subjects of Krishna, he and his army men arrived in Dwaraka before Krishna returns from Indraprastha.  A fierce battle took place between Salya and Pradhyumna who led the army of Yadhavas.  Krishna returned from Indraprastha and witnesses Salya and Pradhumna were having a vicious battle.  Thus, Krishna and Balaram led the army against Salya who was undertaken extreme penances worshiping Lord Shiva, and attained powerful armaments, was skilled in illusionary fights. In that fierce battle, Salya brought Vasudeva in the center of the battlefield and sieved his head off from the neck, before Krishna.  Bhagavan mistook Salya killed his father, Maharishi Vedavyasa writes, the all-pervading Lord who resides as a soul in living beings, remained untouched watching the brutal act of Shalya.  How could the supreme Lord get emotional while the mud pots like human bodies undergo ruin?  Krishna beheaded Salya with his powerful Sudharshana, and killed all his army men; Krishna had a battle with Dhanthavakthra,  in that vicious battle Dhanthavakthra was brutally killed.
