Mitravinda was the fifth of the Ashtabharya the eight principle queen-consort of Lord Krishna the Hindu deity. She was the daughter of Rajadhidevi and King Jayesena the ruler of Avanti Kingdom, present day Ujjain in India. Rajadhidevi was the sister of Kunti and cousin sister of Krishna's father Vasudeva.
Mitravanda’s brother wanted her to marry Duryodhana and arranged the Swayamvara ceremony. But intentionally they did not invite Lord Krishna and Balarama. Balarama knowing of Mitravinda's love for Krishna advised Krishna to kidnap her. When Krishna came to know of this, he went to the venue of the svayamvara. Complying with her wishes, Lord Krishna kidnaped her from the venue of the svayamavara where he was challenged by her brothers, Duryodhana and other princes who wanted to marry Mitravinda. After defeating the princes of Avanti, Duryodhana and other suitors Lor Krishna kidnaped her and married her. Mitravinda had ten sons: Vrika, Harsha, Anila, Gridhra, Vardhana, Unnada, Mahamsa, Pavana, Vahni and Kshudhi.
