The End of the Yadava Dynasty

Gandhari’s curse started taking form. As a last resort to save His Dynasty, Lord Krishna prohibited liquor in the city of Dwarka. In the thirty-sixth year after Mahabharata war, the Yadavas went on a picnic and became drunk. There was a fight between Krishna’s sons, Kritavarma and Satyaki. Soon, all the Yadavas took sides. They took out the stems of a seaweed which grew at the sea-shore and hit one another. Thus, all of them died. Only Lord Krishna, Balarama and Daruka, his charioteer, remained alive. The seaweed had grown out of the powder of the iron rod. It was washed up on the shore and some of it took the form of an arrow. Deeply depressed, Balarama went into a yogic trance and gave up his body. He turned into a huge white serpent and went into the sea. He was an incarnation of the great Serpent ‘Sheshnag’, the bed of Lord Vishnu.
