Thus they left Rukmi's kingdom, Bhojakata, and happily started for Dvaraka\|The bride and bridegroom were ceremoniously seated on the chariot, and they started for Dvārakā, accompanied by the bridegroom's party. The bridegroom's party was always protected by Lord Kṛṣṇa, the killer of the Madhu demon. Thus they left Rukmī’s kingdom, Bhojakaṭa, and happily started for Dvārakā. '''(Kṛṣṇa Book, Chapter 61)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~.

Then they chanted mantras from the Atharva Veda and offered oblations in the fire to pacify the influence of different stars\|The auspicious sacred thread was tied on her wrist. She was given various types of jewelry to wear and long silken cloth to cover the upper and lower parts of her body. Learned priests gave her protection by chanting mantras from the Sāma Veda, Ṛg Veda and Yajur Veda. Then they chanted mantras from the Atharva Veda and offered oblations in the fire to pacify the influence of different stars. '''(Kṛṣṇa Book, Chapter 53)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|The gopis worshiped goddess Katyayani to get Krsna as their husband; similarly Rukmini was thinking of the various types of demigods not for material benefit but in respect to Krsna\|The gopīs worshiped goddess Kātyāyanī to get Kṛṣṇa as their husband; similarly Rukmiṇī was thinking of the various types of demigods not for material benefit but in respect to Kṛṣṇa. Praying to the demigods to achieve the favor of Kṛṣṇa is not irregular, and Rukmiṇī was fully absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa. '''(Kṛṣṇa Book, Chapter 53)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|Lord Krsna's dealings with Rukmini as a perfect husband are a perfect manifestation of the supreme perfection of the Personality of Godhead\|Lord Kṛṣṇa's dealings with Rukmiṇī as a perfect husband are a perfect manifestation of the supreme perfection of the Personality of Godhead. There are many philosophers who propound a concept of the Absolute Truth in which God cannot do this or that. They deny the incarnation of God, or the Supreme Absolute Truth in human form. But actually the fact is different: God cannot be subject to our imperfect sensual activities. '''(Kṛṣṇa Book, Chapter 60)'''}}

Śrīmatī Rukmiṇī, however, was not interested in any of them; in her heart she was simply expecting Kṛṣṇa to come and carry her away. As she was adjusting the ornaments on a finger of her left hand, she happened to look upon the princes and suddenly saw that Kṛṣṇa was present amongst them. '''(Kṛṣṇa Book, Chapter 53)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|Although Rukmi was a veritable enemy of Krsna, he had great affection for his sister, Rukmini, and wanted to please her in all respects\|Although Rukmī was a veritable enemy of Kṛṣṇa, he had great affection for his sister, Rukmiṇī, and wanted to please her in all respects. On this account, when Rukmiṇī’s grandson Aniruddha was to be married, Rukmī offered his granddaughter Rocanā to Aniruddha. Such marriage between immediate cousins is not very much sanctioned by the Vedic culture, but in order to please Rukmiṇī, Rukmī offered his daughter and granddaughter to the son and grandson of Kṛṣṇa, respectively. '''(Kṛṣṇa Book, Chapter 61)'''}}

But her elder brother Rukmī, despite the desire of the others, arranged for her marriage with Śiśupāla, a determined enemy of Kṛṣṇa. When the black-eyed, beautiful Rukmiṇī heard of the settlement, she immediately became very morose. However, being a king's daughter, she understood political diplomacy and decided that there was no use in simply being morose. '''(Kṛṣṇa Book, Chapter 52)'''}}

'''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|The children of these ladies (the queens of Dvaraka) are Pradyumna, Samba, Amba, etc: Ladies like Rukmini, Satyabhama and Jambavati were forcibly taken away by Him (Krsna) from their svayamvara ceremonies after He defeated many powerful kings\|The children of these ladies are Pradyumna, Sāmba, Amba, etc: Ladies like Rukmiṇī, Satyabhāmā and Jāmbavatī were forcibly taken away by Him from their svayaṁvara ceremonies after He defeated many powerful kings, headed by Śiśupāla. And other ladies were also forcibly taken away by Him after He killed Bhaumāsura and thousands of his assistants. All of these ladies are glorious. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.10.29)'''}}
