In the Mahapurana, Uttara Purana, all my sons were consumed by the blazing fire. They perished with the Yadavas due to fear. ||15|| Hearing these words, Kalayavana, the enemy, entered the blazing fire, which was like my prowess. ||16|| Returning quickly, he carried a false pride and went to his father. The Acharya says, "Shame on this thoughtless act." ||17|| Meanwhile, the army of Yadavas stopped by the shore of the ocean to establish their place. ||18|| There, Krishna, with pure intentions, sat on a bed of darbha grass, performed the rituals and chanted mantras, observing a fast for eight days. At that time, a god named Naigama said, "I will take the form of a horse. Mount me and go into the ocean. There, a city will be built for you within twelve yojanas." Hearing the words of Naigama, Krishna, with certainty, did the same. It is right, for who is not a friend when there is virtue? ||16-21|| The horse, which is swift and proud, on which Krishna is seated, and whose fly whisks are still, when it ran, it seemed as if the ocean was divided into two parts due to the fear of Krishna. It is right, for the group of water (foolish people) can be divided by those who are endowed with intellect and power. ||22-23|| At that time, by the order of Indra, Kubera, with the virtue of Krishna and the promising Neminath Tirthankara, created a beautiful city. First, he built a magnificent Jain temple, shining with a thousand peaks, and then a beautiful city adorned with vpra, moat, rampart, gate, and hall, etc. The ocean embraced the gate of the city with its large waves. The city, with its brilliance, laughed like a divine city, and its name was Dwaravati. ||24-27|| Krishna, with his father Vasudeva and elder brother Balarama, entered the city and lived happily with the Yadavas. ||28||
Then, the one who will become the lord of the three worlds, the soul of Indra, will come from the chariot...
1. Then Lo. 2. Jinālaya Lo. 3. Dwaravati Lo.
