Oh the king! as you have enquired from me about our friends and relatives in the city of Dwarka, I may inform you that all of them were cursed by the Brahmins and as a result of that all of them became intoxicated by drinking wine made of purified rice and fought between one another with sticks and blows unrecognised by themselves. Except four or five all of them are now dead and gone.
