Explanation

According to legend, Krishna died from a poisoned arrow that struck his foot. This occurred in a forest near Dwarka when a hunter named Jara (or Jara the hunter) mistakenly shot Krishna, thinking he was an animal. The arrow had a poisoned iron tip. This event marked the end of the Dvapara Yuga and beginning of Kali Yuga. Krishna accepted this death as part of his divine plan to leave the mortal world.
