Antakrud-Dasha- Ang-08 - varga-1, Chapter- 1 to 10
was anti-Vasudeva and ruler of Rajagruha (really monarch of southern half of Indian penunsula). Weeping bitterly Jivayasha expressed the whole happenings and murder of her husband Kansa, to her mighty father Jarasandha.
Listening all this Jarasandha became red in fury. He sent his ambassador to Soriypura-ruler-Samudravijaya (Samudravijaya was the great father of Krushna and Balarama; because the father of Krushna and Balarama-Vastudeva was the youngest brother of Samudravijaya. Krushna Balarama both went to Soriypura after killing Kansa).
Ambassador came to the court of Samudravijaya and spoke in harsh WordsSamudravijaya! Either you send Krushna-Balaramna with me at once or my lord Jarasandha will destroy you, your city and all Yadavas exhaustively.
The harsh words were intolerable to Krushna. He disgraced the ambassador and the ambassador returned back angrily.
Samudravijaya called a meeting of his kiths and kins, ministers and royal astrologers and then asked- whatshould be done in present circumstances?
Premier Astrologer told-Though in your family there are three highly great persons- Tirathathkara Aristhanemi, Vasudeva Krushna and Baladava Balarama, so none can harm you, may he he mighty like Yama; but this land (territory) is not favourable for Yadavas. So for avoiding the struggle and peacelessness of every day, you should leave this place and go to south-west direction with all your families and citizens. You please stop at the place, where Satyabhama, wife of Krushna, give the birth to a son. That land would be favourable to Yadavas and there you will prosper.
According to the counsel of royal astrologer, Samudravijaya, Vasudeva, Krushna, Balarama etc., whole Yadava family and citizens went out from Soriyapura and approached the south-west coast of ocean (Lavana samudra:) Here all encamped near Raivataka mountain. At that place Satyabhama gave birth to two sons- Bhanu and Bhramara. Yadavas decided to establish their capital at that very place. Observing three days' fast shree Krushna called a deity. Susthita deity came. Vasudeva expressed his desire- please; construct a new city for me. Deity went to his ruler-Indra and gave words to the desire of Krushna. Indra ordered VaishramanKubera (god of wealth) to construct a very beautiful, heart-pleasing great and vast city for Vasudev Shree Krushna.
Kubera constructed a vast and grand city which was twelve yojanas in length and nine yojanas in breadth. In this city there were many great and small gates, so it was named as Dwaraka.
Some scholars opine that in this city there were twelve rulers (chief administrators- ten Dasarhas Shree Krushna and Balaram, so it is called Barapati, which laterly became Dwarapati, Baravai and finally Dwaraka.
The meanings of four adjectives Pasadiya etc., are as under-
Pasadiya-By seeing which the feeling of pleasure arises, Darisaniya- worthseeing. Abhiruva-Desire for seeing which arouses again and again, PadiruvaWhenever seen it looked new, nice and splendid.
[...3] Meaning
Out of Dwaraka city in the middle of East-North directions (Ishan Kona) there was a mountain named Raivataka. On Raivataka mountain there was a garden, named Nandanavana. In that Nandanavana there was a temple (sanctuary) of Surapriya Yaka (deity) which was very old. That garden was surrounded by one vast
