JADAVA (YADAVA)

JADAVA (YADAVA) By cutting joke with Durbasa, Jadavas obtained the fruit (punishment). (Dhanasari Namdev, p. 693) Yadavas are the descendants of Yadu, the eldest son of Yayati and Devayani. They were mainly cowherds. When Krishna was bom, they seem to have settled in the neighbourhood of Mathura on the banks of river Yamuna. Krishna belonged to this tribe, which migrated with Krishna to Dwarka. See : Durbasa , Krishna
