Wives – 5

Once Lord Sri Krishna went to visit pancha Pandavas in Indraprastapura, when they married Droupadi. Among those five brothers Arjuna was very good friend and admirer of Krishna.

 

Krishna stayed for some days in Indraprastapura, at that time Arjuna and Krishna went for hunting. There they became tired while hunting and went to river Yamuna to drink water. There after drinking water they saw one young and beautiful woman roaming alone.

 Krishna told to Arjuna to enquire who she is? Arjuna went to her and asked who she is? And why she is wandering there alone? That lady was river Yamuna who came as beautiful lady. She told to Arjuna that “ I am daughter of Sun. My name is Kalindi, I reside in the palace given by my father which is in the waters of Yamuna. I am here meditating to marry Lord Krishna”. And she requested Arjuna to help her in marrying Krishna.

Kalindi requested Arjuna instead directly talking to Krishna because if she asks Krishna  he may reject but when his loved worshiper like Arjuna asks he cannot reject. Arjuna went to Krishna and conveyed the message told by her. Then Krishna agreed to marry her and asked her to get into the chariot. Then after some days when Krishna went to Dwaraka from Indraprasta puram he married Kalindi, she was his fourth wife. The sons of Kalindi were Sruthudu, Kavi, Vrushudu, Veerudu, Subhahudu, Bhadrudu, Shanti, Dharsudu, Poornamaasudu and Somakudu.
