yadu-vaṁśa-prasūtānāṁ puṁsāṁ vikhyāta-karmaṇām
saṅkhyā na śakyate kartum api varṣāyutair nṛpa
TRANSLATION
The Yadu dynasty produced innumerable great men of famous deeds. Even in tens of thousands of years, O King, one could never count them all.
|| 10.90.41 ||
tisraḥ koṭyaḥ sahasrāṇām aṣṭāśīti-śatāni ca

|| 10.90.42 ||
saṅkhyānaṁ yādavānāṁ kaḥ kariṣyati mahātmanām
yatrāyutānām ayuta-lakṣeṇāste sa āhukaḥ
TRANSLATION
Who can count all the great Yādavas, when among them King Ugrasena alone was accompanied by an entourage of thirty trillion attendants?
COMMENTARY
The plural number of the word ayutānām (tens of thousands) indicates that King Ugrasena had specifically thirty trillion attendants, rather than an indefinite number of tens of trillions. This can be understood by applying the interpretational rule of kapiñjalādhikaraṇa, the logic of “referring to pigeons”: Somewhere in the Vedas is found the injunction that “one should sacrifice some pigeons.” This plural number should be taken to mean not an indiscriminate number of pigeons, but precisely three of them, since the Vedas never leave any matter vague. Thus āyutānām ayuta-lakṣeṇa “with a lakh of ayutas of ayutas” means three times 10,000 (ayuta) times 10,000 (ayuta) times 100,000 (lakṣa), or 30,000,000,000,000, which is three sankhas.
The description is in the present tense to express Śukadeva’s realization of the eternal nature of Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes.
