Devi Satyabhama is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna. She is the incarnation of Bhudevi who herself is a form of Mahalakshmi.
- Satyabhama is Bhudevi ( Mahalakshmi) -
The "mercy" was born as mother Rohini and the “earth mother” was born as Sathyabhama. “Humility” was born as Krishna’s friend Sudhama. “Control of senses” was bom as Sage Udhawa and “Truth” was bom as Sage Akroora.
- Krishna Upanishad of Atharvaveda.
Śrī Rudra said: The glorious daughter of Satrājit, named Satyā, born with a portion of the Earth, was another wife of Kṛṣṇa. The glorious daughter of the Sun, named Kālindī, was his third wife.
- Chapter 249, Uttara Khanda, Padma Purana.
As the daughter of Janaka and the wife of Rama, she is Sita. Rukmini and Satyabhama were the wives of lord Krsna. The incarnations of Laksmi are many, O lord of birds and there is no difference among them.
- Chapter 16, Brahma Moksha Khanda, Garuda Purana.
2. Devi Satyabhama was incredibly beautiful, generous, and virtuous -
According to ritualistic formalities prescribed in the Sastras the Lord married Satyabhāmā who was blessed with good disposition, charming beauty, generosity and other excellent virtues and had many suitors soliciting her hand.
- Chapter 56, 10th Skandha, Srimad Bhagavatam.
3. Satyabhama is seated on the right side of the Lord.
He was seated on Garuḍa as if on a lotus seat. He was adorned with a garland of sylvan flowers. He looked brilliant with necklaces, ear-rings, shoulderlets, crown and other ornaments. Lakṣmī was seated on his left lap. Satyabhāmā was on the right side. His body was as lustrous as a black cloud. Though he was an ocean of mercy, he spoke to the husband of Girijā (who was) frightened, as if he was angry with him.
- Chapter 12, Purushottama Kshetra Mahatmya, Vaishnava Khanda, Skanda Purana.
4. She is a skilled warrior who overpowered Narakasura in battle -
Satya, the wife of the wielder of Sarnga, pierced Naraka with sharp narachas, crescent-shaped arrows and with bhallas. Satya tormented Naraka as the truth torments liars. Seeing her fighting thus, Narka attacked her between her breasts with sharp arrows and shot between her arms six fast-flying arrows and on her sides with seven arrows. Satyabhama then became furious and with a very sharp arrow chopped the evil Naraka's bow into two. The powerful Satyabhama then chopped into pieces his flag and flagpole too, as well as his umbrella, his chariot and horses. The mighty Danava then picked up another powerful bow and Satyabhama chopped that too into two, and when he picked up bows one after the other, Satya broke them all into pieces. Then the angry Danava picked up a mighty mace and hurled it at her as Krishna watched. She saw the mace approaching and broke it into smithereens. Then Naraka picked up a sakti and began to attack her with it. The devi, Krishna's dear wife Satyabhama, then broke that too into smithereens and laughed aloud. Then picking up a parigha, Naraka then attacked her by hurling it at her. Satya in reply attacked the Danava with sharp arrows and pierced his body with them. Krishna then praised his dear wife Satyabhama pleasing her, as did the Gods and holy sages, all standing in the skies. Devi Satyabhama, Lord Krishna's Shakti, then with an arrow separated the head of Naraka's charioteer from his body. Krishna, the Glorious One, then became delighted and hugged her and wiped off the perspiration on her born of battle strain. Krishna, the Great Soul, then, pleased with her, gave her a necklace that he had not given [even] to Rukmini. This glorious necklace, renowned the world over, that he [as Vamana] had snatched from Bali during Bali's sacrifice.
- Vishnu parva, Southern recession of Harivamsa (translated by Satya Chaitanya).
5. Lord Krishna expressed his undying love for her multiple times -
O dear one, out of my sixteen thousand wives no beautiful lady other than you is dear to me. You are (just) like my life. For you I had a quarrel with (Indra) the lord of gods along with the (other) deities.
- Chapter 88, Uttara Kanda, Padma Purana.
O you of divine beauty—I am known in the world as your servant; Why then, O most excellent lady, dost you not command me as before?
Just as flame is in fire, divine brightness is in the sun, and unfading charms are in the moon, so my love resides in you and you only."
- Chapter 67, Vishnu parva, Harivamsa.
You have often said to me, ‘Neither Jāmbavatī nor Rukminī is so dear to me, Satyā, as you are.’ If you have spoken the truth, and not mere flattery, then let this Pārijāta tree be the ornament of my mansion.
- Chapter XXX, book V, Vishnu Purana.
O Kṛṣṇa, these pleasing words are often mentioned by you to me—“O Satyā, neither Jāmbavatī nor Rukmiṇī is so much desired by me as you are”. If, O lord, those are not mere complimentary flattering words, if they are really meant, let this Pārijāta be an ornament to my house.
- Chapter 94, Brahma Purana.
