7-Krishn's Family Krishn's Parents
Krishn's 6 Elder Brothers
These grandsons of Hiranyakashyp did not accept Hiranykashyap as their God and refused to chant "Hiranyaaya Namah" as instructed. Instead they did severe penance to please Brahmaa Jee. Brahmaa Jee was pleased and appeared before them and gave the boon they asked for. They asked he boon not to get killed by any Devtaa, or Gandharv, Yaksh or Naag. After receiving the boons, they stayed under water and enjoyed full freedom there. Hiranyakshyap knew this and was very upset about their paying respect to Brahmaa Jee instead of him, so he cursed them that they would be killed by their own father in their next birth. Now, Kaalnemi took birth as King Ugrasen's son Kans. And these Shad-garbhaa (Shad means six) took birth from Devakee's womb as Krishn's elder brothers and as soon as they were born, all of them were killed by Kans. Kans was the incarnation of Kalanemi who was their father in their previous birth. Seventh brother is Balaraam and the 8th one is Lord Himself as Krishn. Much later Krishn brought all his elder brothers killed by Kans and showed them to His mother Devakee. Bhaagavat Puraan does not mention Kaalnemi as Hiranykashyap's son. He is only mentioned as an Asur. Krishn's Wives
The celebrated eight wives of Krishn may refer to ---- (1) Rukminee
Her 10 sons are - (1) Pradyumna, (2) Chaarudeshn, (3) Sudeshn, (4) Chaarudeh,
(5) Suchaaru, (6) Chaarugupt, (7) Bhadrachaaru, (8) Chaaruchandra, (9) Vichaaru
and (10) Chaaru. (2) Satyabhaamaa or Satyaa
Her 10 sons' names are - (1) Bhaanu, (2) Subhaanu, (3) Swarbhaanu, (4) Prabhaanu, (5) Bhaanumaan, (6) Chandrabhaanu, (7) Brihadbhaanu, (8) Atibhaanu, (9) Shreebhaanu and (10) Pratibhaanu.
Her 10 sons were - (1) Shrut, (2) Kavi, (3) Vrish, (4) Veer, (5) Subaahu, (6) Bhadra, (7) Shaanti, (8) Darsh, (9) Poornamaas and the youngest one was (10) Somak. (4) Mitravindaa
Her 10 sons are - (1) Vrik, (2) Harsh, (3) Anila, (4) Gridhra, (5) Vardhaan, (6) Unnad, (7) Mahamsa, (8) Pavana, (9) Vahni and (10) Kshudhi. (5) Jaambvatee
Her 10 sons' names are - (1) Saamb, (2) Sumitra, (3) Purujit, (4) Shatajeet, (5) Sahastrajeet, (6) Vijaya, (7) Chitraketu, (8) Vasumaan, (9) Dravid and (10) Kratu.
Her 10 sons were - (1) Veer, (2) Chandra, (3) Ashwasen, (4) Chitragu, (5) Vegavaan, (6) Vrish, (7) Ama, (8) Shanku, (9) Vasu and (10) Kuntee. Amongst all of them, Kuntee was very powerful. (7) Bhadraa
Her 10 sons were - (1) Sangraamajeet, (2) Brihatsen, (3) Sur, (4) Praharan, (5) Arijeet, (6) Jaya, (7) Subhadra, (8) Vaam, (9) Aayur and (10) Satyak. (8) Lakshmanaa
Her 10 sons were - (1) Praghosh, (2) Gaatravaan, (3) Sinha, (4) Bala, (5) Prabal, (6) Urdhwag, (7) Mahashakti, (8) Saha, (9) Oj and (10) Aparaajit. All Puraan do not agree on the number of wives of Krishn. Bankim Chandra gives a list of 22 wives summing up all Puraan, Mahaabhaarat, and Harivansh. Then he deduces their number to 8 - by discarding 10 (which are only found in Harivansh), and 2 (who are only mentioned in Mausal Parv), and considering that Jaambvatee and Rohinee are the same, and Satyabhaamaa and Satyaa are also the same, that is, 22 - 10 - 2 - 2 = 8.
Bankim Chandra, in his "Krishn Charitra" says in the same chapter, in its last list Another Set Vishnu Puraan, 4/11 gives Krishn's one of His 8 wives' name as Chaaruhaasinee and says that He had 180,000 sons from His 16,101 wives. Krishn's Children
Bhaagvat Puraan, 10/u9 says that "Since Krishn had more than 16,000 wives, so the number of His sons, grandsons, great-grandsons were in tens of millions." Vishnu Puraan, 4/11 says that "Krishn's children and grandchildren etc cannot be counted even in hundred years. Because two Shlok are famous in this regard. Whoever Aachaarya (Guru) used to educate Yaadav princes, their number was 38.8 million, then how one can count those Yaadav who lived in the kingdom of king Ugrasen." Krishn's Friends
