Jembawati - (Dewi) - Mahabharata
Jembawati is a wife of monkey blood, namely Begawan Jembawan and Trihatha is Wibisana's granddaughter. The marriage of Krishna and Jembawati can be interpreted as a symbol of Krishna's union with creatures in the world. In the sense that Krishna is flexible, he can get along with anyone or all creatures in the world.
During her time as King Kresna's consort, she more often lived in the Gadamadana hermitage taking care of Gunadewa, rather than living in Dwarawati's palace.
Dewi Jembawati died at an old age and was buried in the Gadamadana hermitage.
