Arjuna meets Subhadra

In the evening, Satyabhama went to Krishna and told him about the conversation that she had had with Subhadra. Krishna said he was in agreement with Subhadra's wish and Arjuna would make a good husband for her.

Satyabhama went where Subhadra was. She asked Subhadra to follow her.They entered the room where Arjuna was sleeping on a grand cot. Satyabhama called out to Arjuna. Arjuna woke up and wanted to know who she was. She said she was Satyabhama, Krishna's wife. Arjuna said it was the middle of the night, when the world was sleeping. So what was she doing at that hour?

Satyabhama said she had come with a proposal from her sister in law, who had lost her heart to him. She then showed Arjuna, Subhadra, who was standing in a corner.

Arjuna said while he was willing to take Subhadra, he would need the permission of Balarama , Krishna and the other elders.

Satyabhama said Draupadi would not take to marriage of Arjuna very well.

Arjuna said - You do not know Draupadi. Krishna has many wives, how has he managed to have equilibrium among the wives. Krishna likes you a lot and gives a lot to you. Krishna got the Parijata tree and gave that to Rukmini, and that became known all over.

==================

Janmajeya then wanted to know more about Krishna and his getting the Parijata and the equation between Satyabhama and Rukmini..
