Yayati immersed himself in material pursuits. But after having spent many such years in enjoying life, he got tired of it all. He got back his old age from Puru and returned Puru’s youth to him. Yayati made Puru the king and went off to do tapasya in the forest. Turvasu, Druhya and Anu merely received very small kingdoms that surrounded Puru’s kingdom.

In Yadu’s line was born Arjuna. This Arjuna prayed to Dattatreya and obtained several boons from him. The first boon was that fight adharma and serve the cause of dharma, fight the evil and serve the good. The third was that enemies would not be able to defeat him. And the fourth and final boon was that Arjuna would be killed by someone who would be famous throughout the world. The Arjuna came to be known as Kartaviyarjuna. He performed ten thousand yajnas and ruled for eighty-five thousand years. The name of his capital was Mahishmati. Once Ravana invaded this city and was defeated and imprisoned by Arjuna. Eventually Arjuna was killed by Parashurama. All who were descended from Yadu, were known as Yadavas.
