Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 My knowledge is that though Krishna and Balarama were brothers their father was vasudeva but the mothers were Devaki and Rohini respectively. Subhadra was the daughter of Rohini. She was the sister of Krishna in the same way as Balarama was his brother. I am unable to give puranic references immediately.

In the Mahabharatha she's the sister of Krishna who gets kidnapped by Arjuna etc and it finally ends in bringing closer two powerful kingdoms of that period. But while looking into the Bhagavatha purana that gives detailed information on Krishna's birth and childhood I couldn't find any reference on Subhadra's origin ! I don't have the text of works like Harivamsa or Brahma vaivartha purana to refer to. Can other listers give pointers to this pls? INDOLOGY/ INDOLOGY Vote for the stars of 's next ad campaign!
