I think you have not gone through the links that Smaranam provided. The YAdva clan became very powerful during the time of Krishna after the Mahabharata war. It became a cause of worry for Lord Krishna as it would have been very difficult for the world once he left the world. Therefore, a plan was hatched for YAdvas' destruction. They were cursed by a Rishi for their arrogance for playing joke on him. Due to the curse, they fought among themselves & during these fights, they killed each other. Lord Krishna too was cursed by GAndhAri after MahAbhArata ended and all her sons died ... this led to killing of Lord Krishna's worldly incarnate by the arrow of a hunter who mistook him for a wild animal in the forest and thus the great Vrishni clan came to an end.
