English translation and comments:

Lord Kṛṣṇa spoke the following words to convince the Yādavas to leave Dvārakā and go to Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where the fratricidal war and destruction of the Yadu dynasty could take place (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.6.34-38):

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Our dynasty has been cursed by the brāhmaṇas. Such a curse is impossible to counteract, and thus great disturbances are appearing everywhere around us.***

"My dear respected elders, we must not remain any longer in this place if we wish to keep our lives intact. Let us go this very day to the most pious place Prabhāsa. We have no time to delay.***

"Once the moon was afflicted with consumption because of the curse of Dakṣa, but just by taking bath at Prabhāsa-kṣetra, the moon was immediately freed from his sinful reaction and again resumed the waxing of his phases.***
