It is said that within the illustrious Yadu dynasty, there were as many as three crore and eighty-eight thousand princes, all carefully instructed by their family teachers. The Yadavas themselves were so numerous and distinguished that none could truly count their great souls; even Ahuka, a prominent figure among them, was surrounded by a hundred thousand tens of thousands. In those times, fierce Daityas—demons who had once been vanquished in battles between the gods and the demons—were reborn among humans. Proud and powerful, they began to oppress the people. To subdue these tormentors, O King, Hari, the Supreme Lord, instructed the gods to descend into the Yadu dynasty. Thus, the divine beings appeared within a hundred and one families of the Yadavas. Among these families, Lord Hari Himself became the standard of greatness, exercising His sovereignty. All the Yadavas who followed Him prospered and flourished. The Vrishnis, deeply absorbed in Krishna, were so enchanted by Him that in all their activities—whether resting, sitting, walking, conversing, playing, bathing, or otherwise—they became oblivious to their own true selves. When Krishna was born among the Yadus, He sanctified the earth by His very presence. The celestial river became pure by washing His feet. Both those who opposed Him and those who loved Him attained their true forms, for all were conquered by the unconquerable Lord. His name, which dispels all inauspiciousness, established the sacred lineage whenever it was heard or spoken. Thus, it is no wonder that Krishna, wielder of the wheel of time, relieved the earth of its burden. Victory to Him, the abode of all beings, whose birth from Devaki is celebrated, who, surrounded by the noblest Yadus, destroyed unrighteousness with His own arms. With His beautiful, smiling face, He removed the suffering of all creatures, both moving and unmoving. He awakened the god of love in the hearts of the women of Vraja and the city. May the deeds of this foremost Yadu—the Lord whose playful form enacted such fitting pastimes to protect His own path, whose actions destroy the bonds of karma—be heard by all who wish to follow in His footsteps. For by hearing, chanting, or contemplating the glorious stories of Mukunda, even a mortal, through such devotion, attains His divine abode, which lies beyond the swift reach of death. Indeed, for the sake of Lord Krishna, 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 Bhagavata, the scripture for the paramahamsas.
