DHŪMA-VARNA. ‘Smoke coloured.’ A king of the serpents. A legend in the Hari-vansa relates that Yadu, the founder of the Yādava family, went for a trip of pleasure on the sea, where he was carried off by Dhūma-varna to the capital of the serpents. Dhūma-varna married his five daughters to him, and from them sprang seven distinct families of people.
