VaishNavas,
How is it that Akrura is sometimes described as the paternal uncle
of Krishna?
>From the Bhagavat Purana it appears that Akrura is son of Shvaphalka
who is the son of Vrishni. But, Krishna appeared 10 generations
after King Vrishni, as the son of Vasudeva who is son of Surasena.
Akrura's Ancestors in the Bhagavat Purana in Book 9 Section 24
...Satvata -> Vrishni -> Shvaphalka -> Akrura
Krishna's Ancestors in the Bhagavat Purana in Book 9 Section 24
...Satvata -> Vrishni -> Chitraratha -> Viduratha -> Shura ->
Bhajamana -> Shini -> Bhoja -> Hridika -> Devamidha -> Shurasena ->
Vasudeva -> Krishna
Can one of the learned VaisNavas please resolve this, perhaps based
on other PurANas?
Thank you!
Regards
Nidhi
