Guest guest Report post Posted November 6, 2004 The Harivaˆa vulgate 1.35.4 and Critical Edition 1.25.1 reads: paurav… rohin… n€ma b€hlikasy€tmaj€ npa / jye˜h€ patn… mah€r€ja dayit€nakadundubheƒ // "Rohini, the descendent of the Puru clan, was the child of B€hlika, O King. She was the foremost wife and darling of Anakadundubhi." Paurav… is not exactly her name. It means that she descends in the Puru dynasty. This is a popular (vyavah€ra) genealogy. According to it Vidura is the son of Vicitrav…rya and therefore a paurava. B€hlika (or B€hl…ka) was the brother of ®antanu, who was the father of Vicitrav…rya. So B€hlika's daughter could be vaguely, and popularly, called a "sister" of Vidura. I guess she would be some sort of great cousin sister. Not a blood relation, though. -ek > Hare Krishna > PAMHO, AGTSP > > Lord Krsna's father, Vasudeva, had sixteen wives, and one of them, named > Pauravi or Rohini, the mother of Baladeva, was the sister of Vidura. > > >>> Ref.
