Mitravinda () is chronologically the sixth of the Ashtabharya of the Hindu god Krishna, an avatar of the god Vishnu, and the king of Dvaraka in the Dvapara Yuga (epoch).
==Etymology== Mitravinda was known by the epithet "the virtuous" and called as Shaibya or Shaivya (meaning daughter/descendant of King Shibi/Shivi) in the Vishnu Purana. Ratnagarbha, a commentator on the Vishnu Purana, identifies Mitravinda with Kalindi, another chief queen of Krishna. In Harivamsa, she is referred to as Sudatta, the daughter (or patrilineal descendant) of Shibi.
