Fight between krishna and shiva from its oldest refrence— harivamsa parva

In real the first time the fight between shiva and krishna occoured in harivamsa parva of mahabharat first text dedicated to krishna even before srimad bhagwatam.

It says following:-

★Lord shiva helped bana to fight against krishna because bana done peance to rudra and got boon to become uma or godness parvati's son. And banasur got his thousand arms from starting and not by boon of lord shiva.

★Lord shiva gave gave boon to banasur when he was eager to fight with someone that when his flagstaff will be broken an unequal fight will be there.

★Godness parvati gave boon to usha that at a particular constelation or time the man which will come in her dream will become her husband. So,if banasur was wined then anirudha(who came in usha's dream) shall be killed or the usha and anirudh wouldn't get married.

★Lord shiva was not made fall asleap by krishna he only started to yawn and after been encouraged by banasur he was again gooing to fight but bramha realized him that his soul was divided into two parts  (of which one is krishna) and the fight was over lord shiva and lord krishna greeted each other and lord shiva went away and there was a hymn to hari-hara.

★Lord krishna was able to make lord shiva even yawn because lord shiva gave krishna a boon in the form of rishi narayan that rishi narayan would be superior to battel even with him i.e. lord shiva.

The lord brahmA looked at rudra (shiva) and spoke the following words:

sR^iShTo mahAsuravadhaH kiM bhUyaH parirakShyase ||2-125-16(Note 1)

The destruction of great demons has started now (with your consent).Then why are you protecting them?

O the one with great arms! I do not like your fighting with kR^iShNa. Also you are not understanding kR^iShNa with your intellect. Your soul is divided in two parts (of which one is kR^iShNa).

tataH sharIrayogAddhi bhagavAnavyayaH prabhuH |pravishya pashyate kR^itsnAMstrI.NllokAnsacharAcharAn ||2-125-18

(vaishampAyana continued: O janamejaya!) When he was advised thus by brahmA, the lord (shiva), the lord who does not have any decline, entered his (own) body by yoga and visualized the entire threeworlds along with all the moving and fixed beings.

pravishya yogaM yogAtmA varAMstAnanuchintayan |dvAravatyAM yaduktaM cha tadanusmR^itya sarvashaH |

shiva, the soul of yoga, entered the state of yoga and thought about theboons he had given earlier (to bANa) and remembered all that he spoke in the city of doors (dvAravati).

jagAda nottaraM kiMchinnivR^itto.asau bhavattadA||2-125-19

(Considering all this) he (shiva) did not say anything in answer. Then he(shiva) retreated from the battle.

AtmAnaM kR^iShNayonisthaM pashyata hyekayonijam |tato niHsR^itya rudrastu nyastavAdo.abhavanmR^idhe||2-125-20

Then rudra (shiva) who is born froma single source, realized his own soul as the soul of kR^iShNa (brahma - the ultimate soul). Then rudra (shiva), without any argument, retreated from the battle (with kR^iShNa).

brahmANaM chAbravIdrudro na yotsye bhagavanniti |kR^iShNena saha sa~NgrAme laghvIbhavatu medinI ||2-125-2

Then rudra (shiva) told brahmA: O lord! I will not fight the battle with kR^iShNa. Let the earth become light.tataH kR^iShNo.atha rudrashcha pariShvajya parasparam |parAM prItimupAgamya sa~NgrAmAdapajagmatuH||2-125-22

Then kR^iShNa and rudra embracedeach other. They became highly pleased with each other and both retreated from the battle field.

na cha tau pashyate kechidyoginau yogamAgatau |eko brahma tathA kR^itvA pashya.NllokAnpitAmahaH||2-125-23

No one else could realize that both kR^iShNa and shiva are one with yoga. Only the grandfather brahma who has seen the world has made them so, realized them as one.

uvAchaitatsamuddishya mArkaNDeyaM sanAradam |pArshvasthaM paripaprachCha j~nAtvA vai dIrghadarshinam||2-125-24

Immediately brahmA spoke about this to mArkaNDeya and nArada, who were nearby, knowing that they are endowed with a vision for future.

pitAmaha uvAchamandarasya gireH pArshve nalinyAM bhavakeshavau |rAtrau svapnAntare brahmanmayA dR^iShTau harAchyutau ||2-125-25

grandfather (brahmA) said:O those with the soul of brahman (O mArkaNDeya and nArada)! I saw both bhava (shiva) and keshava '(kR^iShNa), hara (shiva) and the onenot having any decline (kR^iShNa), in a dream, in the night near a lake by the side of mountain mandara.

haraM cha harirUpeNa hariM cha hararUpiNam |sha~NkhachakragadApANiM pItAmbaradharaM haram||2-125-26

I saw hara (shiva) in the form of hari (kR^iShNa - viShNu) and hari (kR^iShNa - viShNu) in the form of hara (shiva). hara (shiva) was seen as holding the conch, chakra, mace and wearing a yellow garment (like viShNu).

trishUlapaTTishadharaM vyAghracharmadharaM harim |garuDasthaM chApi haraM hariM cha vR^iShabhadhvajam ||2-125-27

I saw hari (kR^iShNa - viShNu) holding the trident, three point spear and wearing the tiger skin. hara (shiva) was mounted on garuDa and hari (kR^iShNa - viShNu)was having the flag of the bull.

(e-) Lord krishna was able to make lord shiva even yawn because lord shiva gave krishna a boon in the form of rishi narayan that rishi narayan would be superior to battel even with him i.e. lord shiva.

"Vyasa continued, 'The blue-throated God, of inconceivable soul, that wielder of Pinaka, that divine Lord ever praised by the Rishis, then gave boons unto Vasudeva who deserved them all. The great God said,  'O Narayana, through my grace, amongst men, gods, and Gandharvas, thou shalt be of immeasurable might and soul. Neither gods, nor Asuras, nor great Uragas, nor Pisachas, nor Gandharvas, nor men, nor Rakshasas, nor birds, nor Nagas, nor any creatures in the Universe, shall ever be able to bear thy prowess. No one amongst even the celestials shall be able to vanquish thee in battle. Through my grace, none shall ever be able to cause thee pain by the weapon of thunderbolt or with any object that is wet or dry, or with any mobile or immobile thing. Thou shalt be superior to myself if thou ever goest to battle against me.'

———————————-—————

So,we can say that the older texts like mahabharat, harivamsa parva of mahabharat and oldest purans like vayu puran and matsya puran as vayu puran from 2nd century and matsya puran from 3d century do not diffrentiate a lot lord shiva and lord krishna or lord vishnu either both vayu puran and matsya puran give the story of creation as bhraman divided himself into bramha,vishnu and shiva.

So the older texts belonging to krishna i.e. harivamsa parva of mahabharat do not say that any body from vishnu or shiva win over each other.
