Pradhyumna, Samba, Kritavarman, Satyaki, Aniruddha, Prithu, Viprithu, Charuvarman, Charuka, Akrura, and many others, struck one another with the clubs, which had assumed the hardness of thunderbolts. It soon turned into a huge battle and infuriated by the divine influence, everyone fell on the other with missile weapons. Shri Krishna started slicing off the heads with his discus. It soon became a dump yard of lashes. No Yadava was left over except Krishna, Balarama and Daruka (Krishna's charioteer). Everything was going according to their destiny and their past acts. Soon after that Balarama took the form of a serpent and crept off into the sea. It was Sri Krishna's turn to leave the human body and depart. Krishna sat engaged in thought, resting his foot upon his knee.
Then, there came a hunter, named Jara, whose arrow was tipped with a blade made of the piece of iron and beholding from a distance the foot of Krishna, he mistook it for part of a deer, and shooting his arrow, lodged it in the sole. Approaching his mark, he saw the four-armed king, and, falling at his feet, repeatedly besought his forgiveness, exclaiming, "I have done this deed unwittingly, thinking I was aiming at a deer! Please forgive me." Bhagavata replied, "Fear not my dear. Go, hunter, through my favour, to heaven, the abode of the gods." As soon as he had thus spoken, a celestial car appeared, and the hunter, ascending it, forthwith proceeded to heaven. Then the illustrious Krishna, having united himself with his own pure, spiritual, inexhaustible, inconceivable, unborn, undecaying, imperishable, and universal spirit, which is the one with Narayana, abandoned his mortal body and left off for Vaikunta. He had already instructed Arjuna about the inundation of Dwaraka. Arjuna along with the left over Yadavas of Dwaraka started to move in their boats from Dwaraka.
