v2.c28.s1.8

The question may here be asked why the Yadu-vamśa has been separately counted when it comes under the Chandravamśa. But it seems that the Jādhavas were always separately counted from the other Chandravamśīs. Even in the Rigveda, the Yadū-Turvaśas are separately mentioned, the Turvaśas eventually disappearing. The Yādavas are again separately treated in the Purāṇas they having no right to be kings owing to the alleged curse of Yayāti. They were probably still pastoral in habits and hence their separate mention. It is, therefore, not strange that the Yaduvamśīs are separately mentioned from the Chandravamśīs. Their clans viz., Bhātī, Jadejā and others can intermarry as has already been shown and hence it is evident that Jādhava is not a clan like any of the 36.
