Vindya and Anuvindya, who shared the throne of Avanti, were followers of Duryodhana's. When the time came for their sister [Mitravinda] to select her husband in the svayamvara ceremony, they forbade her to choose Krishna, although she was attracted to Him.
The feelings of enmity between the Kurus and the Pandavas were so strong that Mitravinda's brothers, out of friendship for Duryodhana, forbade the young maiden to accept Krishna as her husband.
