Ok thankyou so much
Although I still slightly disagree with the second point since Vasudev wouldn't have started the Ashwamedh had this been the rule. Plus to be honest I think Yadavs were not that powerful
However that aside, if actually Rukmavati n Rukmini are same then did Jarasandh try Shishupal marry Rukmavati? Possible but then this needs to happen at least 13 years after Dwarika establishment
Off topic did you guys ever read Srikant Taligiri ji?
Although not a Historian, yet he gives great details from Vedas n strongly supports out of India Theory
There was no rule. It was just understood that Kuru Panchalas were the elite of all of them.
It actually is stated so in Karna Shalya Samvadha.
Yadavas tried to oust Jarasandha with the Yagya, but it didn't work.
Therefore, the alliance.
Between establishment of Dwaraka and Panchali swayamvara, there would have been 6 or 7 years at least. If Shishupala was born right after, it would be 10 plus years after Panchali swayamvara before he could do any swayamvara. IIRC, he is actually NOT mentioned in CE at Panchali event. Why wouldn't he be there if he were the king of Chedi?
4 or 5 years after swayamvara, Arjuna would kidnap Subhadra. Shishupala would've been 15 ish by then An year or so later, he came of age and was brought up to be Jarasandha's goon.
This would be the time Rukmini/Rukmavati also turned 16 since generally grooms are older. Pradyumna kidnapped her with Krishna's help.
Jambavati and Satyabhama are specifically stated to be married to Krishna by lac house.
So either Rukmini didn't exist, or she was one fo Krishna's junior wives..
It is the only way to make sense of the Rukmini timeline and Shishupala chronology.
