The Vrishnis (Sanskrit: वृष्णि, IAST: Vṛṣṇi) were an ancient Vedic Indian clan who were believed to be the descendants of Vrishni. It is believed that Vrishni was the son of Satvata, a descendant of Yadu, the son of Yayati. He had two wives, Gandhari and Madri, not to be confused with Gandhari and Madri from the Mahabharata. He has a son named Devamidhusha by his wife Madri. Vasudeva, the father of Krishna was the grandson of Devamidhusha.^[4] According to the Puranas, the Vrishnis were residents of Dvaraka.
