">Bapa Rao: "Re: On bhOga patni concept.."
I do not know muddu paLani was a "bhOga patni". But "bhOga patni"
does not mean a concubine. Let me clarify.
Let me define the terms first:
1 dharma patni: The "first" wife, whith whom only, the man can
perform his "gaarhastya" obligations.
2 bhOga patni: Wives married after acquiring the dharma patni.
These wives are ineligible for sitting with the
husband when he performs his above obligations.
3 upa patni: a wife-like. concubine.
vivaraNa: The "anu lOma" rule says that a man can not marry
a girl from upper varna ( in brahma, kshatriya, vaisya, soodra
varNas, I mean ). He should marry girls from his and lower varna
only. But if he chooses to marry several, he must first marry
a girl of his varna first. His first wife is his dharma patni,
with whom he performs all his obligations according to the
gruhasta-aasrama dharmas. Any other wives he acquires afterwards
are called "bhOga patni"s. Meaning, the man has married them
for his own reasons and not because of gruhasta aasrama duties.
May be for his sensual pleasures. They hence do not enjoy the
status his dharma patni holds. Only the dharma patni is eligible
to sit along with her husband when he undertakes a yagna or any
religious ritual. So is the case when he performs any "pitru"
kaaryaa's. Additional wives, or dharma patni's are legitamately
married to the man and command fine social respect.
If a man fancies "upa patni"s, the society may or may not onbject,
but does not grant them the status of wives. They are unfortunately
are looked down upon - though, it is not their fault in most of the
cases. They do not even dare appear with their man in public.
If a king for example has several wives, his first wife who is often
called as "paTTamahishi". Only her son becoms the king next. This is
so even if another queen produces a son before the paTTamahishi does.
Only if paTTamahishi is child-less, another queen's son gains the
eligibility.
