Thanks for the info, Gunu, it really helped.😊
In general I've always known more about Ram avatar than Krishna avatar, so some aspects of Lord Krishna's life are still unknown to me.
I knew that Princess Kalindi was the fourth wife of Krishna, but I never knew she was Yamuna Devi. When I looked her up, the websites I came upon said she was the daughter of Surya Bhagwaan. So if Yamuna and Kalindi were the same, even Yamuna had to be Surya Bhagwaan's daughter, right?
Btw, Jambavathi was not the third wife of Krishna. She was the second, because after Krishna defeated Jambavanth, he gave Jambavathi to him in marriage and only after that did Satrajit give Satyabhama to Krishna. It is a common mis-interpretation that Jambavathi was the third wife just because she is less known than Satyabhama (like Sumitra and Kaikeyi). In fact, Jambavathi was the second. She may have been younger than Satyabhama in age, but she is the second in rank.
I am still confused about the story of Yamuna Devi...if she was associated with Krishna from his Gokul days, why was she not married to him earlier? Why did she wait to become his fourth wife?
In my opinion, all of Krishna's wives and also the Gopis were the forms of Lakshmi Ma only...Vishnu Bhagwaan cannot be united with anyone but Ma Lakshmi even on Earth, so Lakshmiji must have taken thousands of forms to play a leela with Vishnu Bhagwaan on Earth.😊
