Birth.

From

the

following

Purāṇic

statements,

it

could

be

understood

that

rukmiṇī

was

the

incarnation

of

goddess

lakṣmī.(

i

)

“Śrī

devī

(

lakṣmī

)

by

her

portions,

took

birth

in

the

earth

as

rukmiṇī

in

the

family

of

Bhīṣmaka”.

(

M.B,

Ādi

Parva,

Chapter

67,

Stanza

156

).(

ii

)

Formerly

lakṣmī

devī

took

birth

as

the

daughter

of

bhṛgu

by

his

wife

khyāti.

Next

she

took

birth

from

the

sea

of

Milk

at

the

time

of

the

churning

of

it

by

the

combined

efforts

of

the

devas

and

the

asuras,

to

take

Amṛta

(

ambrosia

).

When

viṣṇu

took

birth

as

āditya,

lakṣmī

took

birth

from

lotus.

When

viṣṇu

incarnated

as

paraśurāma

lakṣmī

devī

became

the

earth-goddess.

In

the

incarnation

of

śrī

rāma

she

became

sītā

and

in

that

of

śrī

kṛṣṇa

she

was

rukmiṇī.

(

viṣṇu

purāṇa,

Aṃśa

1,

Chapter

9

).

It

was

in

the

kingdom

of

vidarbha

that

lakṣmī

devī

took

birth

as

rukmiṇī

during

the

incarnation

of

Śrī

kṛṣṇa.

To

bhīṣmaka,

the

King

of

vidarbha,

five

sons

beginning

with

rukmī,

were

born.

The

sixth

was

a

daughter

who

was

named

rukmiṇī.

She

grew

up

into

a

beautiful

damsel.

(

bhāgavata,

)

marriage.

rukmiṇī

fell

in

love

with

śrī

kṛṣṇa.

Her

parents

agreed

to

her

choice.

But

her

brother

rukmī

was

an

enemy

of

śrī

kṛṣṇa.

rukmī

desired

to

give

his

sister

to

Śiśupāla.

The

date

of

the

marriage

was

fixed

and

the

heart

was

burning

within

rukmiṇī.

She

sent

a

Brahmin

as

messenger

to

kṛṣṇa.

The

time

of

marriage

drew

near.

The

kings

of

aṅga,

kaliṅga,

mālava,

kekaya,

vaṅga,

magadha,

kosala,

sālva,

cola,

pāṇḍya,

kerala

and

so

on

took

their

seats

in

the

nuptial

hall.

śrī

kṛṣṇa

and

balabhadra

came

with

their

army.

The

army

under

the

leadership

of

balabhadra

remained

behind

and

śrī

kṛṣṇa

went

alone

to

the

nuptial

hall.

While

preparations

were

being

made

to

give

rukmiṇī

to

Śiśupāla,

śrī

kṛṣṇa

took

her

in

his

chariot

and

quickly

left

the

place.

All

the

other

kings

who

ran

after

śrī

kṛṣṇa

to

fight

had

to

confront

with

the

mighty

army

of

balabhadra,

who

defeated

the

kings

and

returned

to

dvārakā.

(

bhāgavata,

)

Sons.

It

is

mentioned

in

bhāgavata,

skandha

10,

that

ten

sons

were

born

to

śrī

kṛṣṇa

by

rukmiṇī.

They

were

pradyumna,

cārudeṣṇa,

sudeṣṇa,

cārudeha,

sucāru,

cārugupta,

bhadracāru,

cārucandra,

cārubhadra

and

cāru.

But

a

slight

difference

is

observed

in

the

description

of

the

sons

of

Rūkmiṇī

given

in

mahābhārata,

anuśāsana

After

the

death

of

Seeing

the

dilapidated

city

and

the

women

without

he

cried

aloud.

After

the

death

of

śrī

kṛṣṇa,

rukmiṇī,

with

the

other

wives

of

śrī

kṛṣṇa

jumped

into

a

burning

pyre

and

died.

“Śaibyā,

rukmiṇī,

gāndhārī,

haimavatī

Jāmba-

jumped

into

fire.”

The

Palace

of

rukmiṇī.

There

is

a

statement

in

the

mahābhārata,

Dākṣiṇātya

Pāṭha,

Sabhā

Parva,

Chapter

28,

about

the

palace

of

rukmiṇī.

“Viśvakarmā

built

a

palace

for

śrī

kṛṣṇa

at

the

instance

of

indra.

The

highest

dome

of

it

is

covered

with

gold.

So

this

dome

dazzled

as

the

peak

of

mahāmeru.

It

was

this

dome

that

was

set

apart

for

his

beloved

wife

rukmiṇī

by

Śrī

Kṛṣṇa”.
