Rohini (Krishna's wife)

The ''Harivamsa'' also suggests that Rohini may be an alternate name of Jambavati. Indologist Horace Hayman Wilson feels that in the ''Vishnu Purana'' as well as the ''Bhagavata Purana'', Rohini and Jambavati are different individuals. He feels that she could a later addition to the original list of 8 chief queens.〔
