उत्पातदर्शनम् — Portents and Kāla among the Vṛṣṇis
तच्चाग्निदत्तं कृष्णस्य वज्ञनाभमयोमयम् । दिवमाचक्रमे चक्र वृष्णीनां पश्यतां तदा,जिसकी नाभिमें वज्धर लगा हुआ था जो सब-का-सब लोहेका ही बना था, वह अग्निदेवका दिया हुआ श्रीविष्णुका चक्र वृष्णिवंशियोंके देखते-देखते दिव्य लोकमें चला गया
tac cāgnidattaṃ kṛṣṇasya vajranābham ayomayam | divam ācakrame cakraṃ vṛṣṇīnāṃ paśyatāṃ tadā ||
Vaiśampāyana dijo: Entonces el disco de Kṛṣṇa—dado por Agni, hecho enteramente de hierro, con un cubo como un rayo—se elevó al reino celeste ante los propios ojos de los Vṛṣṇis. La escena anuncia la retirada de los apoyos divinos de la estirpe yādava y marca el cierre de una era en la que el poder sagrado sostenía el orden del mundo.

Even the most potent divine instruments associated with righteous protection do not remain in the world indefinitely; when a lineage’s destined decline arrives, divine supports withdraw, underscoring impermanence and the working of karma beyond human control.
As the Mausala Parva unfolds and the Yādavas approach their end, Kṛṣṇa’s discus—described as Agni’s gift, iron-made with a vajra-like hub—visibly departs upward to the heavenly realm while the Vṛṣṇis watch, serving as an omen-like sign of the dissolution of Kṛṣṇa’s earthly dispensation.
