| May 8 at 16:49 | comment | added | Deepak Kamat | So Skanda Purana is not talking about marriage of Rukmini at age of 8, but betrothal, which makes sense as why then do engagement of a grown up women when the whole World is doing swayamvara's / marriage directly. There's no mention of how much time passed between that dialogue vs Krishna taking away Rukmini. | |
| May 19, 2023 at 14:29 | comment | added | ekāntika | check the sanskrit verses of harivamsa describing rukmiNI - they dont seem to mention sanskrit word for sixteen . Seems like 16 is tranlsation error. | |
| Dec 11, 2017 at 13:56 | comment | added | YDS | @Parikshitha By any means is it clear that Skanda Purana tells the 5000 years old (I mean Swet-Varaha Kalpa/7th Manvantara/28th Dwapara Yuga) story of Lord Krishna and not from some other Kalpa/Manavantara/Yuga? If stories are from different timelines in Skanda Purana and Bhagavata Purana then they may vary...For example, Lord Ganesha's birth story is completely different in Shiva Purana and Varaha Purana hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/22564/… | |

| Dec 6, 2017 at 16:02 | comment | added | user9554 | Bhagavata Purana says Rumini developed breast. Do 8 year old girls develop breast? | |
| Dec 6, 2017 at 15:43 | comment | added | Fierce lord | @SK i am not against lord shiva i can't even think for dooing that but i thought that a purana which is dedicated to lord krishna only i should take the story answer from there and yes, they were interpolated over centuries and i don't think that child marridge was there at time of mahabharata as rukmani devi is evidenced in both mahabharata and harivamsa parva. | |

| Dec 6, 2017 at 15:36 | comment | added | S K | @Fierce Lord - it is difficult to say what content is interpolated. And what is the criterion for "not interpolated"? There is universal agreement among scholars that ALL puranas were added to over centuries. And there is strong evidence that Srimad Bhagavata purana is bogus - the real bhagavata purana is the devi bhagavata purana. And whats the point of adding the gutter language about Siva - it has nothing to do with the question of the post. | |

| Dec 6, 2017 at 15:11 | comment | added | Fierce lord | " Which sober and marriageable girl of a noble birth would, coming of age, not choose You for her husband " these verses give explanation and all the marriageable girl in india ready to marridge can not anyhow "8". and SK sorry, but the thing which is not accepted anywhere else and specially the puran which is related to that god so what i should say. sorry if i hurt you. | |
| Dec 6, 2017 at 13:21 | comment | added | S K | if two puranas disagree, is interpolation the only explanation? | |
| Dec 6, 2017 at 12:54 | comment | added | Tezz | Where is it proved on above passage that Rukmini wasn't Eight years old?.. | |
