Mitravinda is the fifth of the ''Ashtabharya'', the eight principal queen-consorts of Hindu god Krishna, an avatar of the god Vishnu and the king of Dwarka - in the Dwapara Yuga (epoch). ==Family and names== In the ''Bhagavata Purana'', Mitravinda is described as the daughter of King Jayasena of the kingdom of Avanti, by his wife Rajadhidevi, the sister of Krishna's father Vasudeva.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Bhagavata Purana 10.58 ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bhagavata Purana 9.24.39 )〕 She is thus a first cousin of Krishna, being the daughter of his father's sister. Mitravinda was known by the epithet "the virtuous" and called as ''Shaibya'' or ''Shaivya'' (meaning daughter/descendent of king Shibi/Shivi) in the ''Vishnu Purana''. Ratnagarbha, a commentator on the ''Vishnu Purana'', identifies Mitravinda with Kalindi, another chief queen of Krishna. In ''Harivamsa'', she is referred to as Sudatta, the daughter (or patrilineal descendant) of Shibi. She was a very virtuous, noble and beautiful girl. The ''Bhagavata Purana'' describes that she had two brothers Vinda (Vindya) and Anuvinda (Anuvindhya), who ruled Avanti as co-regents at the time of her wedding. They were comrades of Duryodhana, the leader of the Kauravas. They were therefore opposed to the idea of Mitravinda marrying Krishna, since he had allied with the Pandavas, Kunti's sons and rivals of the Kauravas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mitravinda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
