Satyabhama (IAST: satyabhāmā) , also known as Satrajiti, is a Hindu goddess and the third queen consort of the Hindu god Krishna. Satyabhama is described as an incarnation of Bhumi, an aspect of Lakshmi. She is the goddess and the personification of the Earth. She has two sisters named Bratini, and Prasvapini who are her co-wives as well.[1] According to some traditions, she is regarded to have aided Krishna in defeating the asura Narakasura.[2]
