Narayani Sena

Narayani Sena Narayana Gopas, Gopayan, Yadav sena or Yaduvanshi sena[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] is the army of Lord Krishna of Dwarka Kingdom is called as the supreme Sena of all time. It is described in the Mahabharata as being all of the Abhira (Ahir) caste.[13][14][15][16] They were the basic threat to the rival kingdoms. Fearing Narayani Sena, many Kings didn’t try fighting against Dwaraka. Because Dwaraka sorted most of the threats through Krishna’s politics and talent of Yadavas. Using Narayani Sena, the Yadavas extended their empire to most of India.[17][18][19][20]

Composition of Narayani Sena

Krishna had offered Arjuna, the choice of selection between him or his whole army of Narayani Sena against Duryodhana. He possessed 10 billion fighting Gopes who were brave fighters and were famous by the name of Narayan. In Harivansa Purana, it has been said that Gope or Yadav are generic of the same lineage.[21] The Sena includes Krishna’s 18,000 brothers and cousins. The Sena had 7 Atirathas (Krishna, Balaram, Samba, Ahuka, Charudeshna, Chakradeva and Satyaki) and 7 Maharathas (Kritavarma, Anadhrishti, Samika, Samitinjaya, Kanka, Sanku, Kunti).[22]

Post-war attack on Arjuna

These Gopas, whom Krishna had offered to Duryodhana to fight in his support when he himself joined Arjuna's side, were no other than the Yadavas themselves, who were also the Abhiras.[23][24] They were the supporters of the Duryodhana[25] and Kauravas, and in the Mahabharata, Abhir, Gopa, Gopal[26] and Yadavas are all synonyms.[27][28][29] They defeated the hero of Mahabharatha war (Arjuna), and spared him when he disclosed the identity of the members of the family of Sri Krishna.[30]
