Personal Guidance
Ugrasena's daughters — Kaṁsā, Kaṁsavatī, Kaṅkā, Śūrabhū, Rāṣṭrapālikā — become wives of Vasudeva's younger brothers. Intertwined marriages across families build the Yadava web Kṛṣṇa will inhabit.
Reflection Questions

- Where could I bless rather than disrupt the careful weaving I see around me?
