Hearing of the beauty, prowess, transcendental character and opulence of Mukunda from visitors to the palace who sang His praises, Rukmini decided that He would be the perfect husband for her.
PURPORT
The word sadrisam indicates that Rukmini and Sri Krishna had similar qualities and thus were naturally attracted to each other King Bhishmaka was a pious man, and therefore many spiritually advanced persons must have visited his palace. These saintly persons undoubtedly preached openly about the glories of Sri Krishna.
