Editing Rukmini (section)

===Tale of the scales===
According to a folktale of [[Odisha]], the divine sage [[Narada]] once arrived in Dvaraka and asked for Krishna to be given to him as alms. Krishna's 8 queens requested him to take anything else and Narada asked them to give wealth equal to Krishna's weight. They arranged for a big scale ([[Tulabharama]]) to be put up. Satyabhama put all of her coins, gems and jewellery on the scale, but it doesn't budge. Other wives gave their jewels, but it was of no use. At last, Rukmini came and put a single leaf of [[Tulsi in Hinduism|Tulasi]] on the scale and chanted that it represented her love for Krishna. The scales then became balanced. Though this story is absent in the main scriptures pertaining to Krishna's life, it is often repeated to enunciate the worth of Rukmini's love over Satyabhama's material wealth.<ref>{{cite book|author=Devdutt Pattanaik|title=The Goddess in India: The Five Faces of the Eternal Feminine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rjL3ogbdJNkC|date=September 2000|publisher=Inner Traditions/Bear|isbn=9780892818075|pages=27}}</ref> The only known versions of this story are from [[Padma Purana]] and [[Devi-Bhagavata Purana|Devi Bhagvata Purana]], where Satyabhama succeeds in weighing Krishna normally with gold items.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UbSgAAAAMAAJ&dq=rukmini+worship&pg=PA231 |title=Calcutta Review |date=1905 |publisher=University of Calcutta |pages=231 |language=en}}</ref>
