Sankarshana is another name of Balarama. In the Mahabharata it is described that the seventh child of Devaki and Vasudeva was transferred miraculously from Devaki's womb to the womb of Rohini. Rohini had desired a child of her own. Rohini actually gave birth to Balarama and raised him. Balarama was named Sankarshana which describes the transfer of the child from the womb. He was earlier named Rama, but because of his great strength he was called Balarama or strong Rama.
