MORE STORIES NARRATED BY KALINDI AND OTHER LADIES
HOW THEY BECAME CONSORTS OF KRISHNA
The rest of Krishna’s consorts continued to tell their life stories of how they got married to Krishna. It was Kalindi’s turn now. She said, “As I came of age, I had been meditating on the banks of Jamuna, with only one single thought in my mind. That was how to reach Krishna? My good fortune was that Govind, who knew my contemplation, came one day with Arjun. They took me to Indraprastha palace. There I was married to Shree Hari in the presence of Yudhisthir and other brothers.
[Indraprastha, the legendary city of Mahabharat that was founded by the Pandav brothers, was presumed to have been located around the present Purana Qila in Delhi].
Next came Satya. She said it was a very interesting story. “My father’s name was Naganjit. He was a king. He was looking for an extraordinarily strong and capable son-in-law, a prince, for me. He organised a test to compare their strength. Then he would marry his daughter to the strongest.
My father had seven very fierce wild bulls. They were caged and kept in the dark. They had no contact with human beings. They had their horns sharpened up like the tip of a lance. My father announced that anyone who could subdue these seven bulls could have his daughter as his wife.
