Subhadra

सुभद्रा

Subhadra, daughter of Vasudeva and sister of Krishna and Balarama, is Arjuna's wife and Abhimanyu's mother, and so Parikshit's grandmother. Arjuna carried her away from Dvaraka with Krishna's consent — a celebrated Mahabharata episode. At SB 1.10.7 Krishna's stay of some months at Hastinapura is ascribed partly to 'svasush ca priya-kamyaya', a wish to please His sister, and at SB 1.10.9 she is named first among those grieving His departure. At Jagannatha Puri she is worshipped beside Balabhadra and Jagannatha.
