Texto

Lord Krishna knew that Rukmini possessed intelligence, auspicious bodily markings, beauty, proper behavior and all other good qualities. Concluding that she would be an ideal wife for Him, He made up His mind to marry her.

Significado

Just as Lord Krishna was described as sadrisam patim, an ideal husband for Rukmini, being just like her, Rukmini is described as sadrisim bharyam, an ideal wife for Sri Krishna, being just like Him. That is natural, since Srimati Rukmini is Lord Krishna's internal potency.
