Yaadavaas kill one aanother

Sri Krishna was observing all these incidents.He undrestood that the curse of sages and that of Gaandhaari was about to materialise.Thirty six years were completed from the day Gaandhaari cursed him. Thirty seventh year has set in. If death was inevitable,he wanted to die in a pious and religious place.He was sure that Yaadava dynasty was going to rooted out.Festival had to be conducted near sea shore.So ,he told every one that they had to go the sea shore with religious bent of mind and pray there. That night,every one dreamed that grotesque dark skinned woman had entered their houses by force and dragged their women clutching at their hair.Demons had also entered and took away their weapons and money.Next day they all saw that the wheel given by Agni went into the sky from Dwaaraka.Similarly Sri KLrishnas Garuda dhvajam,Balaramas Thaala dhvajam,nad chariot having Horses named Saibya,Sugreeva,Valaahaka,and Megha pashpa also went along the path of the sky. Yaadavas were not affected by these bad omens.They alighted horses,elephants,chariots and started for the sea shore.Sri Krishna had no chariot of his. So,he alighted another chariot and went without any interest.Balarama clad himself normally and walked along with his friends.Udhdhavudu,minister of Sri Krishna told that he was going to do penance.Balarama also told that he too wanted to do penance. Sri Krishna saluted both of them and started on his journey.Balarama sent Uddhava in one direction and he went in another direction.Sri Krishna sat under a tree with disinterest.Yaadava women prayed Brahmins and the food which they should give to Brahmins was distributed to monkeys.TRhey drank fully and started behaving without any restrictions and inhibitions. Saathyaki killed Kruthavarma with the asthra which was made of the tip of Musalam.He killed Naagaka and Bhoja dynasty warriors also.Sri Krishna wanted to ward off Saathyaki from killing the warriors but in the mean time,Andhaka warriors surrounded Saathyaki.Because Sri Krishna knew every thing, he kept quiet and was silent. Pradyumna,son of Sri Krishna went to help Saathyaki.Before Sri Krishnas eyes only, Bhoja,Andha warriors killed among themselves.They quarreled and fought with each other with neither nor reason. Sri Krishna lost his composure and killed those warriors with Musalam bits,which became stout sticks.Like this,Yaadava,Vrushna,bHOJA AND aNDHAKA WARRIORS DIED OF mUSALAM ,AS PER THE CURSE OF SAGES.

Mousala parvamu...curse of sages

Vaisampaayana maharshi was telling the story Bharatham to Janamejaya king.Dharmaraju ruled the country for thirty five years after Kurukshethra war.After that he saw bad omens.He received information that all yaadavas fought among themselves and got killed except for Sree Krishna and BALARAM.He told this information to his brothers.Vaisampaayana maharshi explained this to Janamejaya king. One day,Kanva maharshi,Naarada and Viswamithra had gone to Dwaraka to visit Sree Krishna.Sons of Yaadavas dressed Saambudu like a pregnant woman and took him to these sages. They saluted them and asked which child,whether girl or boy was going to be borne to that woman.Sambudu was son of Sri Krishna.Sages understood that they were making fun of sages. They got angry and cursed like this.that man was going to give birth to musalam which is going to be detrimental to the entire yaadava dynasty.Our words are not a joke! except Sri Krishna and Balaram,entire yaadava dynasty is going to bedestroyed by the musalam.Musalam is a stout stick.It is also called as rokali.Balarama is going to immerse himself in the ocean and leave his body.While Sree Krishna would lie down, a demon named Jara ,would slowly engulf him.Sages thought it would not be right to meet Sri Krishna and so returned back to their abodes without meeting Sri Krishna.Sri Krishna came to know about this affair later. Sri Krishna knew what all was going to happen in future but he was not interested in reverting back .He told his people that it was Gods act and they should not think it was the fault of his fellow men.Next Day, Sambudu gave birth to Musalamu.Vasudevudu was aghast to know this. He powdered Musalamu and sprinkled it in to the sea.They could not understand that no one can alleviate sages curse.Yaadavaas were afraid of Gaandhaaris curse also.So many bad omens appeared in Dwaraka. All the yaadavas and Brahmins were troubled for no known reason.

Dharmaraju requested him to look up and see him.Vidurudu looked up in a calm and composed manner and seeing Dharmaraju in a concentrated manner relieved himself of the body and joined his aathma ie soul with that of Dharmaraju.As soon as the soul of Vidura joined Djarmarajus soul,Dharmaraju became more strong,more ascetic and more strong.Dharma raju was awe struck with this development. He wanted to perform last rites to the body of deceased Vidura.But a celestial voice from the sky warned Dharmaraju from performing last rites to vIDURAS BODY.dHARMARAJAA!Vidura is a great maharshi.It is not apt for such a great soul to perform last rites as if he were a common man. So,do not do any thing to him. Dharma raju came back and told others what had happened in the woods.Every one was astonished.all the sages went to their abodes. Dharmaraju and his relatives stayed with Dhrutharashtra and others for another month.One day,Vyaasa maharshi came there. HE enquired DHRUTHARASHTRA.hEY KING!have you accustom yourself to the life in the woods?Are you indulging yourself along Gaandhaari in penance?Did you forget the sorrow for your deceased sons?Are you aware that Kunthee devi has forsaken her children and the kingdom to serve you with Bhakthi and respect?Dharmaraju is inacarnation of deity of Truth,himself.That was the reason why the aura of Vidura has joined him.
