History
Jatatribe is considered to be responsible for the cause of death Krishna. Death of Krishna : Krishna beheld his brother depart from human world, and he wandered alone in forest. He thought of Gandhari’s curse and all that had befallen, and he knew that the time had come for his own departure. He restrained his senses in yoga and laid himself down. Then there came a hunter Jara that way and thought him a deer, and loosed a shaft and pierced his foot; but when he came close the hunter beheld a man wrapped in yellow robes practicing yoga. Thinking himself an offender, he touched his feet. Then Krishna rose and gave him comfort, and himself ascended to Heaven.[6]
According to tradition, the place where Jara hunter pierced Krishna's foot by Bhalla Bana (भल्लबाण) and Krishna ascended to Heaven is known as Bhalka Tirtha situated in Prabhas Patan (Verawal). There is a statue of Krishna with Jara hunter at Bhalka Tirtha. [7]
