Yadu (Sanskrit : यदु , romanized : Yadu ) is the founder of the Yadu dynasty in Hinduism .[1] He is described to be the eldest son of King Yayati , and his queen, Devayani .[2] He married five daughters of Nāga king.[3] [4]
According to a narrative found in the Mahabharata , and the Vishnu Purana , Yadu refused to exchange his years of youth with his father, Yayati, when the latter was cursed with senility by his father-in-law, Shukra . Thus, he was cursed by Yayati to have his progeny disinherited of the dominion.[5] [6] Due to this proclamation, Yadu was replaced by his half-brother, Puru , as the heir to the throne of the Chandravamsha dynasty . Yadu founded his own cadet branch of the dynasty, called the Yaduvamsha.[7]
Descendants [ edit ]
The Agni Purana states that Yadu's lineage was continued by his eldest son, Sahasrajit. Sahasrajit had three sons: Haihaya, Renuhaya, and Haya.[8]
A historical dynasty called the Traikutaka claimed descent from Haihaya.[9] [page needed ]
According to Historian T Padmaja, the Ahirs migrated to Tamil Nadu and established their kingdoms and in inscriptions these Ahirs mention they are from Yadu lineage.[10]
By the 1910s, Goalas , Ahirs , Gops , Gopals , and Sadgops were claiming descent from Yadu under a newly-claimed Yadav identity.[11]
