Hi Anish,

 

Thanks for putting this question.

 

Referring to Srimad Bhagavattam Canto 10 (Chapter-61) we find the names of all eight Krishna-patnis. They are -

1) Rukmini, 2) Jambavatî, 3) Satyabhama, 4) Kalindi, 5) Mitravinda, 6) Satya (Nagnajitî), 7) Bhadra and 8) Madra (Lakshmana).

 

Hare Krishna

Hare Krishna !Hi allIt was explained to us during the last sapthaham at home which was in October 07 that they are not 16008 wives, but they are the vedas who came with the Lord to the earth as they said it seems, What is the point of our being here when you are going to take an avatharam on the earth as " Krishna " . So, please don't call them as his wives. Gopikas are also part of them.

best regards,jayasree menon 2008/6/11 Saroja Ramanujam <sarojram18:

 

 

 

 

 

The other four are, Kaalindhee, Sathya, Bhadhraa and Lakshmana

The sloka that mentions the eight wives of Krishna is

bhaishmee jaambhavathee bhaamaasathyaa bhadhraa cha lakshmaNaa

kaalindhee mithravindhaa cha ithashtou pattmahaashtriyaH

Dear Jayantiji and all other friends,

Radhe krishna!

 

First of all, the name of "Shaibya" is something which has created

quite a lot of confusion among the readers. There are many

interpretations on the name "Shaibya". As per Bhagavatam and

Narayaneeyam, the name is attributed to Mitravinda. This is

confirmed by the fact that when Draupadi calls out the names of the

eight wives of the Lord at Samantapanchakam, "HEY VAIDARBHYACHYUTO

BHADRE HEY JAMBAVATI KOUSALE, HEY SATYABHAME KALINDI, SHAIBYE ROHINI

LAKSHMANE." As Mitravinda's name is not separately mentioned and all

other names correspond to the other seven wives, by the elimination

process, we can continue saying that "Shaibya" refers only to

Mitravinda.

 

However, we will briefly describe the story of the Lord's marriage with

Mitravinda, Satya as well as Bhadra. The more we describe the Lord's

exploits, it is more interesting to hear. But we will describe it in

a short form, as a special article on the topic is in the offing.

 

Mitravinda

 

Mitravinda,

was princess of the kingdom of Avanti and

daughter of Rajadhidevi, Vasudeva's sister. She

was deeply in love with Krishna, but was

scared of her brothers, by name Vinda

and Anuvinda. Listening to the wrong

advice of

Duryodhana, they were determined to see that she was not married to

Krishna and

hence arranged a Swayamvara for her on the condition that she must

choose

any

king except Krishna. Her father had

called an assembly of kings at his capital to enable her to elect her

own partner in life. Krishna too attended the assembly. Needless to say,

in a Swayamvara muscle-power also

plays an

important part!

Krishna, vanquishing

all other kings in battle, took her away to Dwaraka in the Rakshasa

style 'even as the lion

carries away his prey from a pack of dogs'. Her brothers, who offered

Him resistance, were equally worsted in the fight.

(Ref. Bhagavatam Skandha X-Chapter 83.)

 

 

 

 

Satya.

In the kingdom

of Ayodhya, there was a

king by name Nagnajit. His daughter

Satya (Naagnajiti) was very well known for her beauty and pleasing

disposition. Many kings desired to marry her. But

Nagnajit had decided that only the one

who was capable of taming and tying up at

the same time, all the seven strong bulls he was

rearing, would

qualify to win her hand. Many kings

tried their hand at this game, but had to give up disappointed, with

their

strength proving unequal to the task. Thereafter, Krishna, going there

and

assuming

seven forms, subdued all the seven strong bulls together, tied them up

and then

married Satya. To subdue and tie up

strong bulls used to be Krishna's pastime, right from His childhood

days!

 

 

(The

game of taming angry bulls stated above is practised even today in some

countries, (especially in Spain). In India, in

arenas specially built for

the purpose, the charging bulls are let out and men compete with each

other,

the prize for subduing the bull being the money-bag tied between the

horns or

even the hand of a chosen bride of the village. In

South India, the game is known as

“Jalli-kettu”. This is a hazardous

game, sometimes ending in fatality for the participants and even for

the

on-lookers, getting gored by the bulls.)

 

Bhadra

 

Vasudeva had a

sister, by name, Srutakirti whose

daughter, Bhadra, was very well known for her beauty and charm. Knowing that she had given away her heart to Lord Krishna,

her father sent word for Krishna of his own accord, and the brothers of

Bhadra, Santhardana and

others, kings of Kekaya land, gave away Bhadra in marriage to Lord

Krishna.

Love
