Yāja blessed the wife of Drupada saying that the two children would thenceforth call her mother. Yāja himself named the boy Dhṛṣṭadyumna and the girl according to the ethereal voice, Kṛṣṇā. Kṛṣṇā was dark in complexion. Kṛṣṇā was the grand-daughter of Pṛṣata and Draupadī because she was the daughter of the King of Pāñcāla. Pāñcālī grew up in the palace of Drupada. (Chapter 167, Ādi Parva).
