SrImate rAmAnujAya nama:

I got the following clarification from an extremely knowledegable Sri
Vaishanava..
----------------------------------------------------------
Traditionally its said that HarivamSa mentions the name
of yaSOda's brother "kumbhaH" whose daughter is nappinai
playing with kRushNa from her childhood. I am yet to
take the references from HarivamSa reg this. Ref to this
child as incarnation of nILA dEvi also finds place in
HarivamSa - traditionally said so [yet to see HarivamSa].

Satya is different from nappinnai though the way they got
married is same reg the bulls story.
