This general description about all Balabhadras and Narayans also finds mention of the ninth Balabhadra (Balaram) and the ninth Narayani (Shri Krishna) of the current regressive cycle. Why so? Answering this question, the commentator, Abhaya Dev Suri mentions- Although this regressive cycle saw nine Balabhadras and nine Nayaranas, Balaram and Shri Krishna were most famous among them. That is the reason their stories feature more frequently.
Tirthankars are followed by chakravarties in status. They are twelve in number. Their glory has been detailed in preceding aphorism. Contemporary to Baladev-Vasudev are nine Prati-Vasudevs; they are eliminated by Vasudevs. Some salient features about Balaram and Shri Krishna, the last Balabhadra and Narayan of this cycle are as follows
These two great men belonged to the Yadav class. This class had ten 45 Dashars—(1) Samudra Vijaya, (2) Akshobhya, (3) Stimit, (4) Sagar, (5) Himavan, (6) Achala, (7) Dharan, (8) Puran, (9) Abhichandra and (10) 4 Vasudev.
This class had 560 million Yadavas. Out of them 35 million were i princes including Pradyumna Kumar. Balaram's mother was Rohini and Shri Krishna's mother was Devaki. The descriptions of their weapons 5 and dresses has already appeared in the original text.
Wrestlers Mushtik and Chanur were killed by Baladev and Shri Krishna respectively. The incidents such as killing of Rishta bull; piercing the nose of Kalia, the great serpent; killing of Yamalarjun; killing of witches named Mahashakuni and Putana; killing of Kansa and Jarasandh are related to the life of Balaram and Shri Krishna. This is for the purpose of highlighting the powers of Baladevs and Vasudevs and conveying that even such uniquely endowed persous too are never contented with indulgence in mundane pleasures.
