Bhadra (Krishna's wife) Bhadra is one of the "Ashtabharya", the eight principal queen-consorts of Hindu God Krishna, according to the scripture "Bhagavata Purana." She is named in the Bhagavat Purana as being the eighth wife of Sri Krishna, and identified as being his cousin (her mother being a sister of his father). Some sources state that Bhadra is the seventh wife (rather than the eighth wife) of Lord Krishna. 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'.
