Narayani Sena
The Narayani Sena (also called Narayana Gopas, Gopayan and Yadav Sena,), the army of Lord Krishna of Dwarka Kingdom, is called the supreme Sena of all time. It is described in the Mahabharata as being part of the Abhira (Ahir) caste.[1][2][3][4] They were the basic threat to the rival kingdoms. Fearing Narayani Sena, many Kings didn't try fighting against Dwaraka. Because Dwaraka sorted most of the threats through Krishna's politics and the talent of Yadavas. Using Narayani Sena, the Yadavas extended their empire to most of India.
