In the illustrious Yadu dynasty, one took as his wife the granddaughter of Rukmi, and from their union was born Vajra, who alone survived the destruction that befell the Yadus. From Vajra came Pratibahu, and Pratibahu’s son was Subahu. Subahu fathered Shantasena, and Shantasena’s son was Shatasena. Throughout this lineage, none were poor, childless, short-lived, weak, or lacking in devotion to the Brahmanas; each was blessed with prosperity, strength, and piety. O King, the Yadu dynasty was so vast that even in ten thousand years, the number of men born to it could not be counted. Their deeds were celebrated far and wide. It is heard that there were three crore and eighty-eight thousand princes in the Yadu dynasty, all instructed by family teachers, and even among them, Ahuka was surrounded by a multitude numbering in hundreds of thousands of tens of thousands. Among humans, many fierce Daityas—those demons once slain in battles between gods and demons—were reborn. Proud and powerful, they oppressed the people. To subdue them, O King, the gods, on the instruction of Hari, descended into the Yadu dynasty, appearing in one hundred and one families. Within these families, Lord Hari Himself became the measure of greatness, ruling with sovereignty, and all the Yadavas who followed Him flourished. The Vrishnis, absorbed in Krishna, were so immersed in Him—in their beds, seats, walking, conversations, games, bathing, and all activities—that they did not perceive their own true selves, so complete was their devotion. When Krishna was born among the Yadus, He sanctified the earth; the heavenly river became pure by washing His feet. Both those who hated Him and those who loved Him attained their true forms, conquered by the unconquerable. His name, which removes all inauspiciousness, established the sacredness of the lineage whenever it was heard or spoken. It is not surprising, then, that Krishna, wielder of the wheel of time, removed the earth’s burden. Victory to Him, the abode of all beings, whose birth from Devaki is celebrated. Surrounded by the best of the Yadus, He destroyed unrighteousness with His own arms. With His beautiful, smiling face, He removed the suffering of all—both moving and unmoving creatures—and He increased the god of love in the hearts of the women of Vraja and the city. Thus 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 abandoned their homes for the forest. Thus ends the ninetieth chapter, entitled “The Description of the Deeds of Sri Krishna,” in the tenth canto, second half, of the great Purana, Srimad Bhagavata, the scripture for the paramahamsas.
