On attaining the age of sixteen Narak, accompanied by Mother Earth and Vishnu came to Pragjyotishapura. In a fiercc battle Naraka killed Ghatak, the reigning king of Pragjyotisha and usurped the throne. Vishnu, putative father of Naraka, while appointing Naraka on the throne advised him to remain steadfast in his devotion to Kamakhya the moment he would lose faith on Her he would be destroyed. In course of time Naraka came into contact with Banasura and lost faith on Kamakhya. He was killed by Krishna. His son Bhagadatta fought against the Pandavas in the battle of Kurukshetra and was killed by Arjuna. His son is Bajradatta, and the line of succession is followed.
