principle of Brihaspati (Jupiter), and the Moon. The issue was
Budha (Mercury), the direct progenitor of the Lunar dynasty. The

History
:
James Todd writes... The Yadu was the most illustrious of all the
tribes of Ind, and became the patronymic of the descendants of Budha,
progenitor of the Lunar (Indu) race. Yudhishthira and Baladeva,
on the death of Krishna and their expulsion from Delhi and Dwaraka,
the last stronghold of their power, retired by Multan across the
Indus. The two first are abandoned by [p.102]:
tradition ; but the sons of Krishna, who accompanied them after
an intermediate halt in the further Duab1 of the five rivers, eventually
left the Indus behind, and passed into Zabulistan,2 founded Gajni,
and peopled these countries even to Samarkand (city in Uzbekistan).
