Then, seeing great portents rising up in Dvaravati, the Bhagavan spoke to the elders of the Yadus who had gathered. Bhagavan said: These very great portents are rising here on every side, and there was a curse on our family from the brahmins, and there is no getting past it. Honoured ones, we must not live here if we mean to go on living. Let us go this very day, and not late, to Prabhasa, which carries great merit. There the lord of stars, seized by the wasting sickness through Daksa's curse, bathed and was loosed from that fault at once, and came again to the waxing of his digits. And we, having plunged into it, and satisfied the fathers and the gods, and fed with food of many kinds the brahmins who long for it,

having sown great gifts with trust in them as the fit vessels, will cross our wrongs by those gifts, as men cross the ocean by boats. Instructed so by the Bhagavan, joy of the Kurus, the Yadavas made up their minds to go to the ford and yoked their chariots.
