Jāmbavān, the wise and venerable king of bears, humbly approached Kṛṣṇa and spoke his heart’s desire: “O Lord, my wish is to die by your discus, for such a death is most auspicious for me. And may this daughter of mine be blessed to have you as her husband.” With devotion, he presented the precious jewel he had obtained after slaying Prasena, saying, “Let this jewel be taken by you, Lord; it is here before you.” Hearing these words, Keśava—the mighty Kṛṣṇa—struck down Jāmbavān with his discus, thus fulfilling the bear-king’s wish. With his task accomplished, the strong-armed Lord graciously accepted Jāmbavān’s daughter as his wife. Thereafter, Kṛṣṇa brought the jewel back and, in the presence of all the Yādavas, returned it to Satrājit, for it had come to him from the king of bears. Yet, Janārdana—Kṛṣṇa—was troubled, for he had been falsely accused regarding the jewel. The Yādavas gathered and spoke to Vāsudeva, saying, “In our minds, we were certain that you had slain Prasena. Satrājit, however, has ten beautiful daughters. His sons, born of Satyā, are said to be a hundred in number, renowned for their valor, with Bhaṅgakāra as the eldest among them. Satyā, devoted to vows, is Bhaṅgakāra’s elder sister; she too bore sons, among whom Śinīvāla is mighty. Abhaṅga and Yuyudhāna were also born, and Śini was their son. From Śini came Yugaṃdhara, and his sons too numbered a hundred.” They continued, “There is Anamitra, famed as a descendant of Vṛṣṇi. From Anamitra was born Śini, the youngest joy of the Vṛṣṇis. From Anamitra also came Yudhājita, a hero among the Vṛṣṇis, along with his valiant brothers Vṛṣabha and Citra. Ṛṣabha took the blameless daughter of the king of Kāśi as his wife, and Jayaṃta married the auspicious Jayaṃtī. Their son was ever-devoted to sacrifice, steadfast, learned, and hospitable.” “From him were born Akrūra, Sudakṣa, and Bhūridakṣiṇa. Akrūra married Ratnakanyā and Śaibyā, and he begot eleven mighty sons: Upalambha, Sadālambha, Utkala, Āryaśaiśava, Sudhīra, Sadāyakṣa, Śatrughna, Vārimejaya, Dharmadṛṣṭi, Dharma, and Sṛṣṭimauli. All became guardians of treasures. From Akrūra also came two illustrious sons in the Śūrasena line: Devavān and Upadeva, both esteemed among the gods. From Aśvinī were born three or four sons: Pṛthu and Vipṛthu among them. There were also Aśvagrīva, Śvabāhu, Supārśvaka, Gaveṣaṇa, Riṣṭanemi, Suvarcā, Sudharmā, and Mṛdu.” “Abhūmi and Bahubhūmi were born as well, and two women: Śraviṣṭhā and Śravaṇā. Whoever knows the story of Kṛṣṇa’s false curse is wise, for none are truly affected by it. From Ikṣvāku was born a son, the heroic and wondrous Mīḍhuṣa, from whom came ten heroic men in the Bhoja line, including Vasudeva, mighty-armed and known as Ānakadundubhi. With him were born Devabhāga, Devaśravā, Anāvṛṣṭi, Kuni, Nandi, and Sakṛdyaśā. There were also Śyāma, Śamīka, Saptākhya, and five noble women: Śrutakīrti, Pṛthā, Śrutadevī, Śrutaśravā, and Rājādhidevī. These five women were mothers of heroes.” “Śrutadevī, wife of Vṛddha, bore the king Kārūṣa. From Kaikeyi, Śrutakīrti bore King Saṃtardana. Śrutaśravā gave birth to Sunītha, king of Cedi. From Rājādhidevī was born Dharmād, fearless and righteous. Śūra, bound by friendship, gave his daughter Pṛthā to Kuntibhoja. Thus Kuntī, also called Pṛthā and sister of Vasudeva, was given by Kuntibhoja as a faultless wife to Pāṇḍu.” “Desiring sons for Pāṇḍu, the noble Kuntī bore divine children, all great chariot-warriors: from Dharma came Yudhiṣṭhira; from Vāyu, Vṛkodara; from Indra, Dhanaṃjaya, whose valor equaled that of Śakra. He who was born from Tripuruṣa was a great warrior with threefold portions, who accomplished the work of the gods and destroyed all Dānavas, even those invulnerable to Śakra. He was established by Śakra, gaining glory in heaven. From Mādravatī, the Aśvins—Nakula and Sahadeva—were born, endowed with beauty, strength, and virtue.” “Rohinī, also called Pauravī, was the wife of Anakadundubhi, and she bore Ceṣṭa, Rāma, Sāraṇa who delights in battle, Durdhara, Damana, Piṇḍāraka, and Mahāhanu. Then Māyā, who would become Devakī on the new moon, bore the mighty-armed one, Kṛṣṇa, who was formerly the Lord of Creatures. His younger sister was Kṛṣṇā, called Subhadrā, who speaks auspiciously; also Vijaya, Rocamāna, Vardhamāna, and Devala were born. All these noble souls were born from Upadevī. Bṛhaddevī gave birth to the great-souled Agāvaha, and from herself, a son named Mandaka. Devakī bore her seventh son, Remaṃta.” “Gaveṣaṇa, greatly fortunate and undefeated in battle, once wandered in the forest for pleasure with Śrutadevī. From a Vaiśya woman, Śauri begot a son, Kauśika, the eldest; and Śrutaṃdharā, a queen, accepted Sauragandha.” Thus, the illustrious lineages, noble births, and the resolution of the false accusation against Kṛṣṇa were recounted, revealing the bonds of kinship and virtue that shaped the destiny of the Yādavas and their allies.
