It is the same Yayati. Yayati cursed his eldest son Yadu because he refused

to exchange his youth in return Yayati's old age (which was also due to a

curse by Sukracarya). Prabhupada comments that Yadu being a great devotee

knew of Krsna's advent in his dynasty and his role in this so he refused to

give his youth. But Yayati not understanding Yadu's mind and being too much

interested in enjoying the senses cursed Yadu for not obeying his

instructions.
