Srimathey Nigamantha Maha Desikaya Namaha Dear Bhagavatas, I too have heard of this. In fact most north indians tease the tamilians for this because we say that Lord Krishna got married to His maternal uncle's daughter. This is not allowed in the case of most north indians (and very few tamilians too)where they reject the gothra of both the father and the mother while looking for a prospective bride or groom if it matches with either of their own gothras. In this case, Yasoda's brother's gothra would be same as hers before she got married. Hence they reinforce their argument that Nappinnai is even more imaginary after this relationship between her and Lord Krishna is mentioned.
