FAQs

What is the significance of Vajra becoming the king of the Yadus in the Vishnu Purana?

It signals the preservation of dynastic continuity after the fall/withdrawal of Dvārakā’s era, ensuring the Yadu lineage remains ordered under a legitimate ruler.

How does Sage Parāśara frame the transition after Dvārakā in this passage?

He presents it as an instructed, dharma-protecting relocation: Arjuna accompanies the survivors, while kingship is reassigned to Vajra to stabilize the Yādavas.

What is the theological importance of Lord Vishnu in this context, even though His name is not explicit in the verse?

The episode reflects Vishnu’s sovereign governance of history: even after Krishna’s earthly līlā concludes, order is re-established through protected people and rightful succession.
