"Foremost among all the Shoorsenis, the powerful one, Krishna, residing at Dwaraka, will rule and protect the whole earth after vanquishing all her lords, conversant as he will be with the science of polity." In the Mahabharta, Sage Vyasa clearly identifies Krishna as Shoorseni : * Saini-> Abbreviated version of Shoorsaini or Shoorseni. * Shaurseni (also spelt variously in English as Shoorseni and Shaursaini) -> The Yadava clansmen and lineal descendants of Shoorsen or Sursen. * Shaursen (also spelt in English as Surasena) -> The kingdom ruled by Shoorsen or Sursen * Shoorsen (also spelt in English as Sursena) -> Yadava king, the father of Vasudeva and the grandfather of Krishna and Pandavas The etymology and origin of the term can be broken down as follows: Note: A later name of Surasena was also Sinsini. This suggests that Shoorsena, the claimed mythico-historical founder of Saini clan, must have had enough influence to have the entire principality, or "Janapada", named after him. The area around Mathura was also named "Shaursena" or Surasena in ancient time after this prominent Yadu clan chieftain. These descendants and kinsmen of Lord Krishna are also referred in Puranic literature as Shaursaini or Shoorseni after Shoorsena (also spelt Sursena) who was paternal grandfather of Krishna and maternal grandfather of legendary Pandava warriors of Kuru clan." Saini appears to be etymologically derived from this Puranic and Mahabharta term and seems to be an abbreviated version of it." Visnu Purana records the migration of some of the Yadava descendants and kinsmen of Lord Krishna from Mathura to Dwarka and from Dwarka to Punjab with the help of Prince Arjuna.
After a common origin in Mathura, each Yadava tribe set on their own journey meeting varied fortunes as they chalked their unique destinies along a path of history that is at least three thousand years old. Though it may appear strange how such culturally and geographically diverse groups could possibly have common origin, one has to keep in mind that the descendants of Yadu were a huge warrior clan distributed and diversified in many tribes and sub tribes. In this sense they also share their with origin with Bhati Rajputs of Rajputana, Jadeja Rajputs of Gujrat and Seuna Yadavas of Devgiri in South India. Sainis of Punjab and contiguous region trace their origin to a sub tribe of the Yaduvanshi kshatriyas who were further a sub division Chandravanshi or Lunar Dynasty kshatriyas.
