Rohini lived in Dwarka w/ the rest of them. As Lola pointed out, Subhadra was born to her later, and Rohini lived there to the end of her life. When Vasudev died a day after Arjun's arrival (when he was about to evacuate Dwarka), his widows - Devaki, Rohini, Bhadra and Madira - all died w/ him.

ohhh thanks alot for the info...actually i have never seen the whole RSK or any other show on Krishna ji ...and whenever i have read the books i have read about his Leelas till they move to Dwarka or the whole of Mahabharat maha yudh and Srimad Bhagvat Geeta ... but never read or watched his Prasthaan to his dhaam ...i have seen and read about Lord Ram's Mahaprayaan only .. 😊

Subhadra was in fact a daughter of Devi Rohini and not Devaki as shown in BRC's Mahabharat

Earlier when Krishna is born and is exchanged with a girl child the Rajpurohits tell Kans that Devki's kundali does not have a daughter

Rohini Devi lived in Dwarika with the rest of the family

Did Bhadra and Madira have any children or no? All we know of is Devaki's Krishna and Rohini's Balram and Subhadra...I once heard that Satyaki was a brother of Krishna. Was he perhaps a son of Bhadra or Madira?

And I also read somewhere that Vasudev had eight wives, with Rohini being the first and Devaki his second. He married the others after Kans Vadh. Does anyone know their names?

The Mahabharat lists 4 - Rohini, Devaki, Bhadra & Madira @ Vasudev's funeral. Conceivably, the others died b4 them?

And Satyaki was the son of Satyaka, and grandson of Sini. Not related to Vasudev or Devaki, although he was dear to Krishna, the Pandavas & Pradhyumna.

Any idea whether Balarama was monogamous?

@ Vrish - I've never read of any other wives of Balram mentioned by name, but it's still a possibility.

@ Nandini - yeah, Kaak Bhushandi's story appears in the Uttar Kand of the Ramcharitmanas. He also features in Valmiki's Yog Vashisht, but that's him post-enlightenment so it's more his philosophy than his biography. The story of his realization upon meeting baby Ramji can be read here, from pg144 onwards:
And his past life is described in the 1st post on this page: http://harinamasankeerthanam.blogspot.com/2009/05/who-was-kak-bhusundi.html
And... thanks for inspiring a thread idea 😛 Who's up for a discussion on all the noble animals that appear in our mytho stories? Bhushandi, Jatayu, Jambavant, Garud, etc? We all know the basics but it would be interesting to learn about why they were in the forms they were in - both in terms of karmic background like the above link on Bhushandi, as well as the possible symbolic/spiritual meaning behind their animal forms.

New question - I posed this one a while back at the BRC CC, and now I was reminded of it again at the Gandhari thread... can anyone find the excerpt from Vyas's Mahabharat wherein Shakuni first comes to stay in Hastinapur, and the first indication of him being a negative character as per the text? From what I've read, it does not start when Bhishma brings the blind Dhritrashtra's proposal for his sister Gandhari, as is popularly thought.

"Vaisampayana continued, 'Soon after Bhishma heard from the Brahmanas

that Gandhari, the amiable daughter of Suvala, having worshipped Hara

(Siva) had obtained from the deity the boon that she should have a

century of sons. Bhishma, the grandfather of the Kurus, having heard

this, sent messengers unto the king of Gandhara. King Suvala at first

hesitated on account of the blindness of the bridegroom, but taking into

consideration the blood of the Kurus, their fame and behaviour, he gave

his virtuous daughter unto Dhritarashtra and the chaste Gandhari hearing

that Dhritarashtra was blind and that her parents had consented to marry

her to him, from love and respect for her future husband, blindfolded her

own eyes. Sakuni, the son of Suvala, bringing unto the Kurus his sister

endued with youth and beauty, formally gave her away unto Dhritarashtra.

And Gandhari was received with great respect and the nuptials were

celebrated with great pomp under Bhishma's directions. And the heroic

Sakuni, after having bestowed his sister along with many valuable robes,

and having received Bhishma's adorations, returned to his own city. And,

O thou of Bharata's race, the beautiful Gandhari gratified all the Kurus

by her behaviour and respectful attentions. And Gandhari, ever devoted to

her husband, gratified her superiors by her good conduct; and as she was

chaste, she never referred even by words to men other than her husband or

such superiors.'"

This is KMG text of Adi Parva in which, after this, next reference of Shakuni straightaway comes in the incident of Bhim given poison.

Subhadra was the daughter of Vasudeva and Devaki- not Rohini. This is described in 9th Skanda, 24th Chapter, Verses 53-55

I had a question with respect to the timelines of Ramayan and Mahabharat.

Rishi Vishwamitra was doing penance when Menaka came to distract him and they both had a daughter - Shakuntala. She married Dushayant and had a son named Bharat. As per B R Chopra's Mahabharat, Bharat named Shantanu his successor. So the Pandavas and Kauravas are 6 generations below Dushyant.

But during this time, Vishwamitra became a Brahmarishi and went to Ayodhya to take Ram and Lakshman to Mithila. As per this, I feel Ram and Shantanu should have lived around the same time.

Do you think there is some kind of an overlap in the timelines? I find it confusing. Could you please tell me your views?
