SUBHADRA - favoured one
Subhadra is born to Vasudeva and RohiNi after
Vasudeva was released from the prison by Krishna Vaasudev. Subhadra is
the youngest of Vasudeva's children; she is BalaRaama's sister and Krishna's
cousin sister . BalaRaama was against in his very young sister Subhadra
wedding much older and much married Arjuna . Krishna prevailed and saw
to it that Subhadra is married to Arjuna , His favourite brother-in-law.
Through out Paandava's AraNyavaasam and Ajnathavaasam and throughout The
Kurukshethra War , Subhadra was staying either in Hasthinaapur or Dwaaraka
. The only tragedy in her life is she lost her son son Abhimanyu in the
war unjustly. Subhadra did not accompany Paandavas in their SwargaarohaNam.
But Gods favoured her progeny. Her grand son Pareekshith became the king
of Kaurava Kingdom . Subhadra and Utthara, mother of Pareekshith lived
long enough to enjoy the Rule of Pareekshith. |
