Krishn Inhabits Dwaarakaa

This story is not the story of internal war of Bharat Vansh only, it is the story of struggle of Truth with Untruth and Light with Darkness. On one side is Krishn - Truth and Light; and on the other side is Dhritraashtra - the root of the Untruth and Darkness. and Duryodhan is the offshoot of that root. Thus this is the story of the battle of Krishn and Dhritraashtra. That is why this story always turns to Krishn from almost anywhere.

So on Parashuraam's suggestion, Krishn came to Mathuraa and immediately went to face Jaraasandh. There He used His Chakra (Divine disc) and killed his most army and brought Raajaa Ugrasen back safe and sound. Krishn said - "At present Jaraasandh is defeated but he will attack again." Daaoo said - "Then let him attack. This time we will end the war." Krishn said - "A mighty person should not be so impatient for war. Rather he should be able to differentiate between necessary and unnecessary war. My suggestion is that we Yadu Vanshee should abandon Mathuraa for the time being, because Jaraasandh is angry with me because I killed Maamaa Kans and made his two daughters widow, then what is the fault of Mathuraa? Why should it suffer for that? War should only be broken when all paths of Peace are closed. And its one path is still open - to abandon this Nagaree and go somewhere else. Our time in living in Mathuraa has come to an end. We should build Dwaarakaa Nagaree which is secured with sea all around."

Mahaaraaj Ugrasen said - "If you did so then people will call you "Ranchhod Jee"." Krishn said - "Which Mathuraa, which Brij land, I freed from Kans' atrocities, to save the same I am ready to accept this name also that people call me "Ranchhod". What is in name? It is only a means to call somebody. By whichever name people call me, I will be the same what I am." Daaoo said - "Why not you kill him with your Chakra..?" Krishn interrupted - "Daaoo, His neck is not worth of my Chakra. If Yadu Vanshee love their pride then we will stay here only, and if they love their birth land then they must abandon Mathuraa."

"Who is going to build this Dwaarakaa?" Ugrasen asked.  Krishn said - "Dev architect Vishwakarmaa." So He called Vishwakarmaa and asked him to build such a Nagaree which is surrounded by sea. Vishwakarmaa said - "If it's name is going to be Dwaarakaa, then I have its plan." And he showed the plan. The plan was approved and Vishwakarmaa built it soon and it was soon inhabited by Yadu Vanshee.

One day Saatyaki came to Dwaarakaa from Hastinaapur. Krishn asked the welfare of people there, he said - "The situation is not good, because they are quarreling among themselves. Because the tradition of Bharat Vansh says that Yudhishthir should be the Crown Prince, and public also wants the same; but Dhritraashtra's heart says that only Duryodhan has the right on Hastinaapur throne, because he is the eldest son of Kuru's eldest son."

Ugrasen said - "This is not all right. Why not Bheeshm intervenes in this?" Krishn said - "He is helpless to solve this problem. He cannot take any decision in this." Ugrasen again said - "Then what about Drone and Kripaa? Why are they silent?" Krishn said - "They all are helpless. If the situation makes some able person helpless then take it for granted that troubles are wandering nearby."
