## Chapter Thirty-One: The Gathering of Brothers and Rohini's Swayamvara
All the brothers-in-law, sons, and relatives of Vasudeva gathered there, embracing and weeping. ||131||
Jarasandha and the other kings were delighted to see this reunion of brothers. They praised Rohini, her brothers, father, and other relatives. ||132||
At the end of the day, the kings returned to their respective camps. They spent their days and nights immersed in the stories of Vasudeva. ||133||
On an auspicious day, when the moon was in the Rohini constellation, Vasudeva married Rohini according to the proper rituals. ||134||
Jarasandha, Samudravijaya, and the other kings were overjoyed at the wedding and stayed at King Rudhira's palace for a year. ||135||
Vasudeva, having been honored for his assistance in the battle, took leave of Dadhimuka, who was pleased and returned to his own place. ||136||
Vasudeva, captivated by his new bride, was like a bee drawn to the lotus of her beautiful face. He did not even remember his previous wives. ||137||
**The Power of Tapas**
Like a lion playing, Vasudeva, the mountain of valor, stood alone on the battlefield, his arms his only support. He was the embodiment of extraordinary prowess. All the greedy kings of the earth, united in their desire to defeat him, failed. This is the power of tapas, as spoken by the Jinas. ||138||
Thus ends the thirty-first chapter of the Harivamsa, composed by Jinasena Acharya, which narrates the story of Rohini's Swayamvara and the gathering of brothers, a part of the Arishta-nemi Purana. ||31||
