Explanation

Shishupala was killed by Krishna after he committed 100 verbal abuses (insults) against Krishna. According to the Mahabharata and Bhagavata Purana, Krishna had promised Shishupala's mother that he would forgive her son's 100 offenses before killing him. When Shishupala exceeded this limit at Yudhishthira's Rajasuya Yajna, Krishna released his Sudarshana Chakra and beheaded him. Putana was a demoness sent by Kansa to kill infant Krishna, Dantakasur was a different demon killed by Krishna, and Kansa was Krishna's maternal uncle who was killed earlier.
