Diptiman, Tamratapta and others were the sons of Lord Krishna and Rohini. Lord Krishna's son Pradyumna fathered the greatly powerful Aniruddha in the womb of Rukmavati, the daughter of Rukmi. O King, this took place while they were living in the city of Bhojakata.
Lord Krishna's eight principal queens are Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati, Nagnajiti, Kalindi, Lakshmana, Mitravinda and Bhadra. Having mentioned all their sons, Sukadeva Gosvami now refers to the sons of the other 16,100 queens by mentioning the two principal sons of Queen Rohini, the foremost of the remaining queens.
