Arjuna conducts last rites to Sri Krishna

Arjuna went in search of Sri Krishna,along with Daarakudu. There he saw Sri Krishna ,lying under a tree,dead.He fainted seeing him dead.His assistants revived him by giving water and attending to him.They asked him if they had to take Sri krishnas body to Dwaaraka or bring the people from Dwaaraka to this area.But on calculation,Arjuna arrived as to the correct time when sea was going to immerse Dwaaraka. It was just the next day. They did have time neither to take the dead body to Dwaaraka nor bring the people of Dwaaraka to this place.It was almost evening by then. So,Arjuna decided to perform cremation and do last rites there itself.He decided not to tell fact to PEOPLE OF dWAARKA because their evacuation to safer place would be delayed.They searched for Balarama and found his dead body also.They cremated his body also and performed last rites. Arjuna ,then,went to Dwaaraka. He collected sixteen thousand wives,eight queens of Sri KRISHNA, REMAINING PEOPLE OF yADU,vRUSHTI,bHOJA AND Andhaka ,their chariots,elephants,horses,nad theri treasures and started for Indraparsdha.As soon as they came out of Dwaaraka,sun was just rising in the east. Immediately they saw sea engulfing entire Dwaaraka into its womb.Arjuna took those people to a place called Panchavatam. There they stayed that day.
