The Book of the Clubs · 9 adhyayas
Gandhari's curse comes true. Thirty-six years later the Yadavas turn on one another at Dwarka and destroy themselves with iron clubs. Balarama leaves his body in yoga. Krishna rests in the forest, where a hunter named Jara mistakes his foot for a deer and looses an arrow — and Krishna completes his avatar. The sea swallows Dwarka.
