Shrikrishna’s father Vasudev had a son from one of his wives, Sutanu, the princess of Kashi. His name was Paundrak. Since Vasudev spent many years inside Kansa’s prison after his marriage with Devaki, Paundrak grew up in Kashi and inherited the throne.

Paundrak was an ally of Shrikrishna’s sworn enemy Jarasandh. He would call himself the real Shrikrishna and imitate him in every way, including calling himself Vasudev.

Shrikrishna tried his best to talk him out of this charade but he did not listen. Eventually Shrikrishna killed him in battle and created a circle of fire around his kingdom trapping and killing the priests who would worship Paundrak as Shrikrishna.
