The story goes that Krishna was a prince of royal blood, the son of Vasudeva. He lived with Nanda, who was also a king and Kshatriya by caste. Vasudeva and Nanda were brothers When Vasudeva knew that Nanda has come to Mathura to pay the taxes of King Kansa, he went to his brother Nanda. The point that the Abhira are Kshatriyas and specifically Yaduvansi. In Harivamsa Purana, it has been said that Gopas and Yadav are generic of same lineage and they are called Gope or Yadav.
