Hear now the wondrous story of Lord Krishna’s descendants and the glory of the Yadu dynasty, as told in the Srimad Bhagavatam. From each of his wives, Krishna—the unfailing Lord—fathered ten sons, matching the number of his consorts. These sons were renowned for their valor and noble deeds; among them, eighteen were celebrated as great chariot-warriors. Their names are: Pradyumna, Aniruddha, Dīptimān, Bhānu, Sāmba, Madhu, Bṛhadbhānu, Citrabhānu, Vṛka, Aruṇa, Puṣkara, Vedabāhu, Śrutadeva, Sunandana, Citrabāhu, Virūpa, Kavi, and Nyagrodha. Of all these sons of Krishna—enemy of Madhu—Pradyumna, born to Rukmini, stood foremost, equal to his father in prowess. Pradyumna, the mighty warrior, married the daughter of Rukmi, and from their union, Aniruddha was born, endowed with the strength of a thousand elephants. Aniruddha, in turn, wed the granddaughter of Rukmi, and their son, Vajra, survived the destruction of the Yadu clan. From Vajra came Pratibahu; from Pratibahu, Subahu; from Subahu, Shantasena; and Shatasena was his son. In this illustrious lineage, none were born poor, short-lived, weak, or lacking in devotion to the Brahmanas. O King, even in ten thousand years, one could not count all the men born in the Yadu dynasty, whose deeds are celebrated far and wide. It is heard that there were three crore eighty-eight thousand princes in the Yadu dynasty, all instructed by family teachers. Who could ever count the Yadavas, those great souls, among whom even Ahuka was surrounded by a hundred thousand tens of thousands? Many fierce Daityas, once slain in battles between gods and demons, were reborn among humans and, proud by nature, oppressed the people. To subdue them, O King, the gods were directed by Hari to descend into the Yadu dynasty, appearing in a hundred families plus one. Among them, Lord Hari Himself became the measure of greatness by His sovereignty, and all the Yadavas who followed Him flourished. Absorbed in Krishna, the Vrishnis in their beds, seats, walking, conversations, games, bathing, and all activities, did not perceive their own true selves, so complete was their devotion. Krishna sanctified the earth by being born among the Yadus; the river of heaven was purified by washing His feet. Those who hated Him and those who loved Him alike attained their true forms, conquered by the unconquerable. His name, which dispels inauspiciousness, established the sacred lineage whenever it was heard or spoken. It is no wonder that Krishna, wielder of the wheel of time, removed the burden of the earth. Victory to Him who is the abode of all beings, whose birth from Devaki is celebrated, who, surrounded by the best of the Yadus, destroyed unrighteousness with His own arms; who alleviated the suffering of all creatures with His beautiful, smiling face, and who stirred the god of love in the hearts of the women of Vraja and the city. May the deeds of the foremost Yadu—whose playful form enacted such fitting pastimes to protect His own path, and whose actions destroy the bonds of karma—be heard by those who wish to follow in His footsteps. By hearing, chanting, or contemplating the glorious stories of Mukunda, even a mortal, through such devotion, attains His abode, which is beyond the swift reach of death; for His sake, even kings left their homes for the forest. Thus concludes the ninetieth chapter, entitled “The Description of the Deeds of Sri Krishna,” in the tenth canto, second half, of the great Purana, Srimad Bhagavatam, the scripture for the paramahamsas.
