Bhadra (Krishna's wife)
Bhadra (Sanskrit: भद्र, romanized: Bhadra, lit. 'fortunate') is one of the Ashtabharya, the eight principal queen-consorts of Hindu god Krishna, according to the scripture Bhagavata Purana. The Bhagavata Purana regards her as being the eighth wife of Krishna; sometimes she is described as the seventh wife. The Vishnu Purana and the Harivamsa do not name Bhadra at all in the list of the Ashtabharya, but refer to her as 'the daughter of Dhrishtaketu' or 'the princess of Kekeya'.
