<< Canto 10, The Summum Bonum >> << 60 - Lord Kṛṣṇa Teases Queen Rukmiṇī. >>
<< VERSE 47 >>
naivālīkam ahaṁ manye vacas te madhusūdana ambāyā eva hi prāyaḥ kanyāyāḥ syād ratiḥ kvacit
WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
| Actually, I don’t consider Your words false, Madhūsudana. Quite often an unmarried girl is attracted to a man, as in the case of Ambā.
|
PURPORT
| Having refuted everything Lord Kṛṣṇa said, Śrīmatī Rukmiṇī, in a gracious frame of mind, now praises the truthfulness of His statements. In other words, she accepts that Lord Kṛṣṇa used her as an example to elucidate ordinary female psychology. The King of Kāśī had three daughters — Ambā, Ambālikā and Ambikā — and Ambā was attracted to Śālva. This story is narrated in the Mahābhārata.
