The Fratricidal Conflict
“At Prabhasa, the Yadavas' celebration grows more intense, their intoxication deepening, their judgment clouded. A quarrel begins—words spoken in anger, insults exchanged, old grievances resurfacing. In their frenzy, they discover the iron bolt reeds growing along the shore and fashion them into clubs. Madness takes over, and the fratricidal destruction begins—brother killing brother, clan destroying itself, the curse being fulfilled in the most tragic way. Krishna and Balarama watch in horror, unable to stop what has been foretold, witnessing the near-total annihilation of their clan. This is the fulfillment of the curse, the tragic end of the Yadava clan, a destruction born of intoxication, anger, and the inevitable power of prophecy.”
