Some
Facts About Dwaarakaa
According to Bhaagvat
Dwaarakaa
is a controversial place. Whatever Bhaagvat Puraan gives its description
at scattered places in different contexts is given here. Some general
facts are that
--Krishn
took His all people there from Mathuraa with the fear of Jaraasandh
--Krishn had already eight wives.
--Later He added His 16,100 wives after He had killed Bhaumaasur.
--He had 10 sons each from His each wife. (161,080 children excluding
Krishn and His 16,108 queens)
--Its length and breadth was 48 Kos (108 miles)
[Bhaagvat
Puraan, 10/u18]
--It had 900,000 silver palaces.
--Krishn owned more than 16,000 palaces. They were all built by
Vishwakarmaa.
[Naturally
one each for all His wives]
--He donated 13,084 cows daily.
[Where these
cows were kept, and who would take them daily? If one Braahman will take
even one cow daily, how he will manage those cows even after a few days?
The number of Aachaarya may justify this number.]
--A strange man comes in the court and says to Krishn - "Some
20,000 kings have not accepted Jaraasnadh's leadership, now they are
requesting you to help them. They say that you have defeated him 17
times, only one time you allowed him to win."
[Krishn
defeated Jarasandh 17 times, Bhaagvat,
10/u1, each time he came with 23 Akshauhinee army. How come that he
had so much army that he could come with 23 Akshauhinee army each time
for 17 times?]
[Bhaagvat
Puraan, 10/u35]
--There
were 38 million (3 Crore and 80 Lakh) Aachaarya (teachers) to teach Yadu
princes, and
--Ugrasen had 1,000 Trillion (10 Neel) soldiers in his army.
[Where did
all these people live on that small piece of land?]
