śrī-śukaḥ uvāca - Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; vṛtaḥ - chosen; svayaṁ-vare - in her svayaṁ-vara ceremony; sākṣāt - manifest; anaṅgaḥ - Cupid; aṅga-yataḥ - incarnate; tayā - by her; rājñaḥ - the kings; sametān - assembled; nirjitya - defeating; jahāra - He took her away; eka-rathaḥ - having only one chariot; yudhi - in battle.

Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: At her svayaṁvara ceremony, Rukmavatī herself chose Pradyumna, who was the re-embodiment of Cupid. Then, although He fought alone on a single chariot, Pradyumna defeated the assembled kings in battle and took her away.
