Tusu, Rakhi and Madhuri, Thank you!
🤗
Madhuri, you are right about rishis not visiting villages and only royals, but I don't think it was because of social stigma. Villages weren't rich and prosperous as much as royals were, and serving/giving bhiksha isn't their work. It is of royals. That was the reason behind rishis not visiting villages. Personally, I'm of the opinion that our ancient India was far more liberal than today, though some of stigma did spread in the Dwaparayuga, which started in Treta. Shishupala himself was a son of a Yadavakanya. 😆
He was Krishna's cousin. Pandavas were half-Yadava as well, but another thing to note is, Yadu was a blood brother to Yayati, Pandavas' ancestor. It was from Yadu that the Yadava lineage started. So, I don't see any point of putting Yadavas down.
Reposting the post from the other thread.
Will post about the episode in a few minutes. 😊
