Jarasndh King of Magagh wanted that Rukmini should be married to his protégé king. Rukmini’s brotehr Rukmi was a stooge of Jarasandh. Mathura Yadavas are not invited by the Kshatriya kings. Krishna visits Kundanpur with a large retinue of chariots and moves round the city. Residents of Kundanpur understand though Krishna is an important person, Mathura wss not been invited. Under public pressure, Krishna is invited. Krisna attends the meeting of King of Kundanpur and requests that swayamvar should be postponed because of the above reasons. King of Kundanpur agrees. Chapter 1- Symantak mani ki chori ka raaz- Syamantak jewel has been granted to Satyabhama’s father Satrajit. After puja, Syamantak jewel delivered gold every day. Because of his affluence, Satrajit wanted be a top leader of Yadavas of Mathura. Ugrasen was pressurized to accept his proposals. Tug of war continued between Satrajit and Krishna. One day Syamantak jewel was stolen from Satrajit’s large palace. Thus, Satrajit was less active. Krishna got himself chosen as Chief of Yadavas. Balram- Krishna- Uddhava left for Ujjaini Sandipani’s ashram. Here they found that the Ashram had started co-education. They met Sudama, Punerdutt, Vindha, Anuvindhya, Revati was a young student from a royal family. Balram was impressed by her. She was the daughter of King Kakumadi of Kushsthali near the sea. Their neighbour king Punyajan attacked and defeated her father. She wanted to reverse the situation. Krishna provided with 1000 army men and requested his friend king Chandak to provide help in the attack led by Balram. The war was won and Kakumadi was declared King as Revati’s brothers had already been killed by Punyajan. Krishna returned and proposed that in order to fill the treasury, the rich Yadavas Satrajit, Satyaki, Akrur, Bhadrak, Vasudev etc. should provide half value of their property to the treasury. Krishna visited Satrajit’s palace, when he had gone out. He met Satyabhama, asked her to show the puja ghar, stole syamantak jewel, told Satyabhama to keep the secret and left. Krishna started depositing gold from the syamantak jewel in the treasury every day. Krishna provided financial assistance to the poor. One solution was suggested to avoid Jarasandh. Krishna could plan to develop Kushsthali as a safe location to shift from Mathura. Chapter 2- Dwarka ka nirman- Krishna met the famous city designer Vishwakarma and explained that security of the city was top priority. Entrance should be from sea and there should no entrance from land. Krishna was able to finance the project. The city was developed soon supervised by Balram and Uddhav.

He had married Shaivya sister of King Shranglu. Krishna had met them during his visit to Kundinpur. They both visited Krishna at Mathura and informed that Jaranadh had convinced King of Kundinpur that Rukmini should be married to Shishupal soon. All kings have made a union which has extended friendly hand to Kalyavan, a Rakshas king. They planned that Kalyavan should attack Mathura from the North while Jarasandh and his friends army to attack Mathura from the west. Chapter 3- Dwarka ke liye Prasthan (Move towards Dwarka) 25000 thousand Yadavs start their journey towards Dwarka. Krishna is aware that Kalyavana army is travelling on the same route of Lavana Ghati. Therefore, Kalyavan army needs to be halted for at least 4 days so that Yadavas may pass the area safely. Krishna sends Satyaki as emissary. Satyaki returns. Only two days delay has occurred. Krishna himself appears before Kalyavana army as emissary of Ugrasen. He informs Kalyavana that Jarasandh has put his army in a trap. Mathura is a weak state and as Jarasandh wishes to be declared as a victor of all kingdoms, his army will face and fight with Jarasasndh’s joint army. Krishna suggests that Kalyavana should follow a short route to Mathura. Kalyavana moves with 4 armed men to view the route. Krishna enters a deep caved where they have placed dry wood already. Krishna enters the cave, Kalyavana follows. Krishna kills Kalyavana with this rotating disc. He comes out and kill three soldiers.

Chapter 4- Mera Dwarkadhish banana- (Krishna crowned as head of Dwarka)- It took 28 for Yadavs to reach Kushsthali. Here King Kakumadi, his daughter Revati and retinue of 200 servants and soldiers welcomed them. Krishna remembered that during the journey whenever he met Satrajit and his daughter Satyabhama, she always smiled and served sweetmeats to Krishna. Construction of Dwarka was financed by Syamantak jewel which Krishna had stolen from Satrajit-Satyabhama’s palace. The group moved towards Dwarka. Vishwakarma was welcomed them.

Within two months shops of various goods started functioning. Yadavs understood that as each of them had to pay taxes to treasury, therefore, they had to start working hard and contribute to development of Dwarka. Until food items were not available, food was provided by palace. Now, as shops opened with goods, free food facility was dispensed with. Krishna always took the consent of the governing council for his decisions. Suggestions were asked from city dwellers for development of Dwarka.

He asked Daruk the charitoter to move out. On meeting his friends, he instructed that you must stop the soldiers for some time, then return back with Shvetketu and Shaviya. The chariot moved fast. Rukmini was afraid, as she did not recognise Krishna. Krishna found that Rukmini was either tired or mentally under pressure, therefore, in the evening, they rest in a small cabin by the roadside. Soon, Krishna found that Rukmi, Rukmini's brother had come alone on a chariot to attack Krishna. Krishna bet him with his mace. Rukmi fell down.

According to the Book, Vidur is maternal uncle of Krishna.i Krishna meets citizens of Hastinapur and discusses the grave situation borne out of burning of Pandavas. The citizens are angry.
