ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« quotes the following verse describing the pure love between Rukmiṇī and Kṛṣṇa:
sarvathÄ dhvaá¹sa-rahitaá¹
saty api dhvaá¹sa-kÄraṇe
yad bhÄva-bandhanaá¹ yÅ«noḥ
sa premÄ parikÄ«rtitaḥ
“When the affectionate bond between a young man and a young woman can never be destroyed, even when there is every cause for the destruction of that relationship, the attachment between them is said to be pure love.†This is the nature of the eternal loving affairs between Lord Kṛṣṇa and His pure conjugal associates.
