Harivamsha Purana
Neither anger nor hatred, nor attachment nor emptiness. Like a sage, I have become indifferent to all of them. ||37||
If the Creator has destined someone else for me, who is superior to all these, then let the Creator, the Guru of the world, show me that groom. ||38||
After saying this, the princess heard the sweet sound of the Panava, which was captivating and drew her heart towards it. ||39||
That sound seemed to clearly say, "Oh beautiful one! The Rajahansa who will captivate your heart is sitting here, so look this way." ||40||
Then, as the princess turned to look, she saw Vasudeva, who was like Kubera, adorned with royal qualities. ||41||
At that moment, Kamadeva, with his sharp arrows of mutual glances, shattered the hearts of both of them. ||42||
Then, Rohini, who was adorned with ornaments and seemed to be bending down under the weight of her breasts, approached Vasudeva and placed a garland around his neck. ||43||
Sitting near Vasudeva, who was seated on the platform, Rohini appeared as beautiful as the Rohini star near the moon. ||44||
Trembling slightly due to the fear arising from this new union, Rohini brought pleasure to Vasudeva's body with the touch of her own. ||45||
Seeing this Swayamvara, some kings said, "Oh! Just as gems and gold are a perfect match, so too is this union of the worthy groom and bride." ||46||
"Oh! Look at the cleverness of this princess, who has chosen this incomparable king, who is from a hidden lineage, wealthy, and a great man." ||47||
Other kings, consumed by envy, said, "Look, the princess has done a great injustice by choosing the Panava player as her groom." ||48||
"It is not right for the kings to ignore this defeat, because if this happens, there will always be chaos on earth, and all the rules of lineage will be broken." ||49||
"What influence does this non-noble man have in this assembly of noble people? Or, if he is noble and wants to reveal his lineage, let him do so." ||50||
"If he doesn't do this, then he must be of a low lineage, and this princess must also be from some low family, even though she is the daughter of a king." ||51||
