Sri Rukmini said: When all the kings held their bows at the ready to assure that I would be presented to Sisupala, He who puts the dust of His feet on the heads of invincible warriors took me from their midst, as a lion forcibly takes his prey from the midst of goats and sheep. May I always be allowed to worship those feet of Lord Krishna, the abode of Goddess Sri.
