At once Yadu entrusted to them the formidable task of establishing kingdom to the South of Vindhyas. The first son Muchkund carried out his behest of making Purika as the capital for the kingdom he established between the Vindhya and Rikshavan mountains; the second son Harita was given charge of protecting the out lying, island countries of the empire; the third son Saras founded the Karunchapaura; the fourth Padmavarma entering the heart of Sahyadris laid the foundation of city of Karvir, and so the region was then known as Padmavat after the founder. Thus the Yadu clan systematically colonized the Deccan region.
