Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 7:

Shukraachaarya gives him a shaapa and Yayaati gets old age very early.

Then he goes and requests Shukraachaarya that he should not do like this, and asks his pardon.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 8:

Shukraachaarya being pleased, and said that he cannot make Yayaati get rid of this, but can exchange the old age with someone else. With someone's youth, he can exchange his old age. So, Yayaati goes to his eldest son Yadu, and asks him – "Can you take my old age and give me your youth".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 9:

O son, because of your maternal grandfather's shaapa, I have got akaala jaraa, when I am young itself, I have got this old age problem, with his grace, I can give my old age to you |

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 10:

I am not satisfied with my sensual pleasures, and for one thousand years, I want to enjoy with your youth.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 11:

He said – "You should not talk to me in return, without telling anything you should give me your youth, I will give my old age to you". But Yadu did not agree to this, and said that he is not interested in taking his old age.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 12:

Yayaati curses Yadu that his children will not get kingdom, they will not get to rule the kingdom.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 13:

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 14:

They all refused to give their youth to him in exchange for his old age. He curses all of them.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 15:

Then, he goes to Sharmishthaa's son Pooru, the youngest of all of them and tells him the same thing.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 16:

He is a very wise person, and with great respect bows down to his father, and said "I am really being graced by you, I am willing to give my youth", and gives him the youth, and takes his old age.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 20:

He enjoyed the company of Devayaani and also an apsaras by name Vishvaachee, and everyday, was enjoying all the pleasures of the senses, he thought that he will reach the end, and was totally devoted to them.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 21:

As he started enjoying day by day, he started enjoying more and more, and thought it was most wonderful.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 22:

One day he realized, and told like this.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 23:

This is a very often quoted shloka. By enjoying the pleasures of the senses, the desire will never end. As the fire keeps on increasing as we offer havis, it keeps on growing more and more, the flames become brighter and bigger, like that, the desires for sensual pleasures keep on increasing only, the more and more one enjoys.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 24:

All the rice, grains, gold, all the cows, all the women, the entire thing is not sufficient for one person; so desire is something which one has to give up. Desire can never be satisfied.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 25:

When, in all the beings, one does not have a bad feeling, he will have samadrushti, he will be equally disposed towards everyone, and at that time, he will have all round happiness.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 26:

That which cannot be given up by bad people, wicked people, and even when you become old, that which does not become old, (as a person becomes old also, the desire does not get old, it remains young), that desire one has to give up completely. Who should give up? One who is wise. Then he becomes a complete person very easily. If he gives up desire, without any difficulty he will become a complete person.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 27:

As one gets old, hairs become old and they fall; teeth also become weak and old. But what does not get old is the desire for money, and desire to live. These never get old even if one gets very old.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 28:

I spent one thousand years being totally interested in enjoying the pleasures of the senses, in spite of that, every single day, my desire is only increasing.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 29:

I am now going to give up this desire completely, and am going to meditate upon Brahman. I will be unaffected by the dualities of life, I will not have anything which is mine, I will be with the idea that nothing is belonging to me, with the idea of non possession, I will spend my time in the forest with the animals.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 30:

Sri Paraasharar – He takes back his old age from Pooru, and gives him back his youth. He makes Pooru as the king, and he goes to forest for doing tapas.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 31:

For the south-east part of his kingdom, he makes Durvasu as the person in charge. On the western side, Druhyu. On the southern side, Yadu.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 10, Shloka 32:

Northern side, Anu. He makes them as regional kings. He made in charge for all the regions, the entire earth, he made Pooru as the king and then goes to the forest.

This completes Chapter 10, story of Yayaati.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 11, Shloka 1:

Sri Paraasharar –

Yayaati's first son Yadu, his vamsha, I will tell you, Yadu vamsha.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 11, Shloka 2:

This tells about Krishna avataara, this is just a mention here, later on it will come in detail. In this Yadu Vamsha, He who has all the worlds as His place of living, all these beings – manushya, siddha, gandharva, yaksha, raakshasa, guhyaka, kimpurusha, apsara, uraga, vihaga, daitya, daanava, aaditya, rudra, vasu, ashvi, devarshi, and also those desirous of other purushaarthaas, dharma, artha, kaama, moksha, in order that they can attain their desired fruits, depending on their desires, One who is always being eulogized, Who has unbounded, boundless excellence, Vishnu who does not have beginning to end, who is the Supreme Lord Bhagavaan, who is endowed with Shaadgunya, Vishnu manifested in this vamsha.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Yaduvamsha is the most excellent among all the vamshaas, those who are desirous of only moksha, and also those who are desirous of dharma, artha, kaama, and then moksha – why is it told as amshena, where amsha means only a part, as Krishna is a poornaavataara, it is just His sport, He manifested, it is His leelaa, and because it was limited by just a human form, we could all see Him just like a human, His svaroopa can be called as sakala manuja nayana vishayataam gatah, He had a bound form like a human being, but that was His svaroopa, that is why it is called as amsha here. He was in His own nature.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 11, Shloka 3:

This is praised in a shloka.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 11, Shloka 4:

One who listens to this charitra of Yadu vamsha, he gets rid of all his sins. The Supreme Brahman manifested as Krishna, taking on the form of a human.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 11, Shloka 17:

Anashta dravyata happened in his kingdom.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Anashta dravyataa is only an upalakshana. Even today, if we lose something, money or some object, if one remembers Kaartaveeryaarjuna, tells his name, they will get it back, it is said. This is well known in the world. This is told in many puraanaas. In Vishnu Dharma, it is said also. One will not lose any object, if he loses, he will get it back. This is told in Harivamsha. If one remembers his name, and him, one will get whatever is lost. This is well known in the Mantra shaastraas.
