Dwarkadheesh-Bhagwan Shree Krishn Lounge - Page 7

The first 8 have always been described as his principle wives, and their status was never equal to that of the other 16,100. Something like Dasharath's 350 wives vs KSK. Yeah, they were still his wives, but that didn't make them queens. Although I'm sure Pradhyumna, Samba et al all regarded them as their mothers.

As an aside, I wonder how the term 'Rani' or 'Patrani' would apply to any of them, given that Krishan was never a Raja. 😕 I know what they mean, but it's technically inaccurate.

We discussed it once in the Ramayan forum, under either the Discussions thread, or the doubts & discussions thread. It's mentioned in Valmiki's Ayodhya-kand - I don't have the chapter & verse handy and would have to dig it up, but it's there - Dasharath's 350 wives, who gathered by him when Rama was going to see him b4 his exile. Check out valmikiramayan.net.

The payas was distributed under the rules of the putra-kameshthi yagna. Only KSK received it, by virtue of being the chief queens.

350 wives of Dashrath ji???? 😲

Dashrath had 350 wives?! I never heard of this.😲

I guess the same source that refers to Krishna as Dwarikadheesh refers to his eight wives as his queens, since otherwise, Ugrasen's wife would be the queen.

Btw, did Balram ever marry someone other than Rohini?

Is there any relation between Rohini and Urmila? Like...did Sheshnaag have any divine wife who was born as Urmila and then Rohini, or were they both also expansions of Lakshmi?

I watched an episode of DSK. Sre Krishna weds Jamvanti, has there been any episode after that?
