Krishna's skill of diplomacy

It was the time of samudra manthana ( churning of sea ). Things were coming out by churning of milk sea.

Like wise, the tree of " parijata flower " had come out. King of devas, Indra had planted the  tree in his garden. Once , the scent of its blossomed flower had reached earth.

Krishna' s crowned wives , Rukmini and Sathyabhama had liked the aroma and wanted to have the tree in their garden. For that , they had pressurized their husband , Krishna to get the tree for them. But the tree was in Indra's garden.

Krishna fought with Indra , brought the tree to his wives. Now fight started between wives of Krishna , Rukmini and Sathyabhama for the tree.

Krishna thought of a plan and planted the tree in Sathyabhama's garden in a place which is nearer to Rukmini's house.

Now , the root and stem of the tree is in Sathyabhama's house but the part in which flower happens , that part will be in Rukmini's garden !

By this way , without hurting anyone's feeling , Krishna solved the problem diplomatically.
