CHANDRAVALI

CHANDRAVALI In the period of Yajur Veda, the Gopi named Chandravali was enticed by Kanha (Krishna) of the Jadava race, who brought Parijata (the wish-fulfilling tree) for her (from heaven) and passed his days in Vrindavana in merriment and enjoyment. (Var Asa M. l, p. 470) It was at the desire of his wife Satyabhama that Krishna carried off the Parijata tree from heaven. It is probable that Satyabhama and Chandravali may be the names of the same personality, but they can be different also, if the Gopi enticed by Krishna may be Chandravali and Satyabhama may be another Gopi, for whom the Parijata was brought from heaven.
