Vraja Madhura Madhurī Hrasita Para Kamanam

pariṇayana-vañchata-rahita-manasacitam
agamad atha kaścana dvijanir asurahitam

One day a brāhmaṇa approached Lord Kṛṣṇa, whose sweet pastimes in Vraja had ended, who was the demons' enemy, and who, in His heart thinking of Himself as a king, had no desire for marriage.

tam anu nijam ayayau nagaram ita-sammadaḥ
avadad api taṁ harer abhigamana-sampadaḥ

The brāhmaṇa recited a message from Princess Rukmiṇi, and Lord Kṛṣṇa replied with eloquent words sweet like nectar. The happy brāhmaṇa returned to his own city and spoke to Rukmiṇi the good news of Lord Kṛṣṇa's arrival there.

iha mahasi sailaja-paricaraṇa-dambhika
bhavitum atha bhīṣmaja hari-caraṇa-lambhika

Bowing again and again before the brāhmaṇa, joyful Rukmiṇi desired that he become happy and prosperous. Yearning to attain Lord Kṛṣṇa's feet, Rukmiṇi worshiped Goddess Pārvati.

magadha-mukha-śatrave raṇa-vimukha-bhavake
yudham adhīta rukmavan asura-paribhavake

acinot

Riding on a chariot, Lord Kṛṣṇa gloriously kidnaped Rukmiṇi as His enemies complained with unhappy faces. Lord Kṛṣṇa made Jarāsandha and His other enemies turn from the battle, and only Rukmi was willing to fight with Kṛṣṇa, the crusher of the demons.

murajid atha nirjayan sa-nṛpa-caya-bhīṣmajam
agamad atha tan nijaṁ nagaram ita-bhīṣmajam

Lord Kṛṣṇa defeated Rukmi, shaved his head, and made him very odd-looking. Defeated by Kṛṣṇa, Rukmi and the kings returned to their own cities.
