SYNONYMS

TRANSLATION

Then the descendants of Dasarha, headed by Lord Balarama, seated Aniruddha and His bride on a fine chariot and set off from Bhojakata for Dvaraka. Having taken shelter of Lord Madhusudana, they had fulfilled all their purposes.

PURPORT

Even though Rukmini was very dear to all the Dasarhas, her brother Rukmi had constantly opposed and insulted Krishna since Rukmini's wedding. Thus, Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti explains, the associates of Lord Krishna could hardly lament Rukmi's sudden demise.

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to the Tenth Canto, Sixty-first Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled "Lord Balarama Slays Rukmi."
