But but but..

In Srimad bhagavatam, there is no mention of Krishna or Pradyumna attending the Svayamvara, also Aniruddha is born only after Krishna marries the 16108 princes... which is well after her Svayamvara.

I think there was also maharaj Shalya madra naresh who was quite old and also there was king of Virat with his two sons Uttara kumar and Shankha who were too young.

There was whole of Vrishini race uddhava, satyaki akrura and kritivarman.

I think there is extreme age gap between contestants.I also think accompanied their fathers some didnot participate necessarily but in some cases younger lot might have participated...

Thnks for the enlightenment...but what was Pradyumna's age during swayamvar? As Krishna n Arjun were of same age, weren't they? So how did Pradyumna participated in swayamvar? 😕

That list was not the list of participants ... cant be ... Just the people who had come for the Swayamvar.

Krishna and Blaram and Akrura ji did not really participate ... Perhaps many people mentioned in the list did not really participate in the Comp. but simply came to watch .. Even if Krishna's sons had come perhaps they were quite young ..

And its not like Draupadi's age was known ... Arjuna and Krishna must be older than her even if she had some ge set ..

Maybe you are right.

Draupadi would have been maximum 2 months old...😆

Now its my turn..😆

Where did King Ugrasena and his wife,Vasudev & Devaki live when Krishna shifted to Dwarka!?

I think Ugrasena and Vasudev were the King and crown prince of Mathura.Actually in DBSK they've shown Vasudev and Devaki in Dwarka during Krishna's wedding and later they left for Mathura!?😕

Another question were Anartha and Dwarka 2 different names of the same place.

Dwarka was founded by Krishna then what was that place King Raivat presented them after his daughter's marriage with Balaram!?

Cherry, everyone was transported to Dwaraka. Mathura was plundered by Jaraasandha, and to prevent the people from getting hurt, Krishna transported everybody to Dwaraka, which is also known as Anartta Desa.

Dwaraka was an ancient kingdom, first ruled by King Anarta, hence the name, whose son was Raivata. Later, Krishna brought it back from under the sea for his rule. And I think the place which Raivata gifted to Balarama (of course the entire land was now Krishna's, but still) was called Kushasthali, part of the 100 Yojana stretch of land which comprised Dwaraka.

Thank You!Did he transport people of Gokul to Dwarka!?I guess even they had some threat from Jarasandh!?btw Nand Yashoda were his parents,so why wouldn't Jarasandh try to harm them!?

It was composed thousands of years ago.Scholars say great number of stories were added later in between the text.

We have literature of past 30 centuries placed in VedVyas Mahabharat.😆
