TRANSLATION

Lord Kṛṣṇa knew that Rukmiṇī possessed intelligence, auspicious bodily markings, beauty, proper behavior and all other good qualities. Concluding that she would be an ideal wife for Him, He made up His mind to marry her.

PURPORT

Just as Lord Kṛṣṇa was described as sadṛśaḿ patim, an ideal husband for Rukmiṇī, being just like her, Rukmiṇī is described as sadṛśīḿ bhāryām, an ideal wife for Śrī Kṛṣṇa, being just like Him. That is natural, since Śrīmatī Rukmiṇī is Lord Kṛṣṇa's internal potency.
