KR If the Q is correct answer must be on that. Lesser known on one hand but revealed in these puranas immediately. First mention thy yard stick what is the standard of greater and lesser known? The question appears as why 20 year old now did not act with MGR like. Where there needs are there they are spoken; many wives are unknown at all in any puranas, except in the list of names. But none of the above as admitted by the writer. For example “One wife of Lord Krishna who is not widely known is the Princess of Gandhara. She is mentioned multiple times in Mahabharata and Harivamsa.Section XI, Dronabhisheka Parva, Mahabharata.Having killed hundreds of highly powerful kings he married his beautiful queen Gandhari.Chapter 103, Vishnu Parva, Harivamsa.Having vanquished all the kings on a single car he carried away the daughter of the Gandhara king.Chapter 116, Vishnu parva, Harivamsa.Chapter 99, Vishnu parva, Harivamsa.Section 7, Mausala Parva, Mahabharata.
