First Woman on Throne
Kashmir prince, Gonanda, went to help of his relative, Jarasamdha, with a large force, and laid siege to Krishna's city, Mathura. A grim battle ensued but ultimately when Sri Krishna's brother, Balbhadra, joined the fray, the brave Kashmir warrior, was killed.
Gonanda was followed by his son, Damodara. He was also a brave ruler who could not forget the fate his esteemed father had met at the hands of the Yadus. He, therefore, lay in wait for an opportunity to avenge the death of his father. This was not long in coming. Soon he learnt that the Yadus, including their chief, Sri Krishna, were invited to Swayamvara on the banks of the Sindhu (Indus) by the Gandharas. When the illustrious Damodara heard that the Yadus had come, he led an expedition against them but the proud prince met no better fate than his valient father; he too was killed.
Sri Krishna did, however, not incorporate Kashmir into his own domain. Kashmir then had a high reputation for sanctity; it was regarded as the manifestation of goddess Parvati. Sri Krishna, therefore, had Damodara's pregnant widow, Yashovati, installed on the throne. Yashovati is one of the first women to have occupied a throne in the history of the world. Naturally, therefore, many eye- brows were raised when Sri Krishna issued this unprecedented decree; but he calmed the grumbling advisers and asked them to look upon Yashovati as a mother and a goddess. And this is what the people did.
