श्रीकान्ता नामकी उत्तम स्त्री थी । उससे उनके पद्मावती नामकी कन्या उत्पन्न हुई थी जो साक्षात् लक्ष्मीके समान जान पड़ती थी । ' उसका स्वयंवर हो रहा है' यह सुनकर अनावृष्टि के साथ-साथ बलदेव और कृष्ण भी वहाँ गये || ३७-३८ || आत्मीयजनोंके साथ स्नेह बढ़ानेवाले इन दोनों को राजा हिरण्यनाभने बड़े गौरव और प्रेमके साथ देखा ||३९|| हिरण्यनाभका बड़ा भाई रेवत जो पिता के साथ पहले ही दीक्षित हो वनमें रहने लगा था उसकी चार कन्याएँ १ रेवती, २ बन्धुमती, ३ सीता और ४ राजीवनेत्रा बलदेवके लिए पहले ही दी जा चुकीं ॥४० - ४१ ॥ जब पद्मावतीका स्वयंवर होने लगा तब युद्धनिपुण श्रीकृष्ण, उसे हठपूर्वक हर ले आये और रणमें जिन्होंने शूरवीरता दिखायी उन्हें शीघ्र ही नष्ट कर डाला ||४२॥ तदनन्तर विवाह कर अपनी-अपनी स्त्रियोंको साथ लिये दोनों भाई, भाइयोंके साथ शीघ्र ही द्वारिका आये और देवोंके समान क्रीड़ा करने लगे ||४३|| हर्षित श्रीकृष्ण गौरीके महलके समीप पद्मावतीके लिए महल देकर बहुत प्रसन्न हुए ॥४४॥
उसी समय गान्धार देशकी पुष्कलावती नगरी में एक इन्द्रगिरि नामका राजा रहता था । उसकी मेरुसती नामकी स्त्री थी। उससे उसके हिमगिरिके समान स्थिर हिमगिरि नामका पुत्र था और गान्धारी नामकी सुन्दरी पुत्री थी जो गन्धर्व आदि कलाओं में अत्यन्त निपुण थी ।। ४५-४६ ।। शीघ्रता से आये हुए नारदसे श्रीकृष्णको जब यह विदित हुआ कि गान्धारीका भाई उसे हयपुरीके राजा सुमुखको दे रहा है तब वे शीघ्र ही जाकर रणांगण में प्रतिकूल . हिमगिरिको मारकर गान्धारीको हर लाये एवं उस सौम्यमुखी के साथ विवाह कर बहुत हर्षित हुए ||४७-४८। उन्होंने पद्मावती के महलके समीप गान्धारीके लिए उत्तम महल दिया और उस धैर्यशालिनीको उत्तम भोगोंसे सम्मानित किया ||४९ || इस प्रकार जो वशीकृत आठ दिशाओंके समान उन आठ इष्ट पट्टरानियोंसे अन्तःपुर में सदा सेवित रहते थे, जो पुण्यरूपी वृक्षसे उत्पन्न भोगरूपी विशाल फलका उपभोग करते थे, जन-समूहको आनन्द प्रदान करते थे, एवं प्रबल पराक्रम के धारक थे ऐसे श्रीकृष्ण समृद्धिको प्राप्त हुए ||५०-५१ ।। गौतमस्वामी

In the Harivamsha Purana, a daughter named Padmavati was born to Shrikant, who was like Lakshmi herself. Hearing about her Swayamvara, Balarama and Krishna arrived there, accompanied by heavy rain. King Hiranyabahu, who was fond of his family, welcomed them with great respect and love. Hiranyabahu's elder brother Revata, who had already been initiated into the order and was living in the forest with his father, had four daughters: 1. Revati, 2. Bandhumati, 3. Sita, and 4. Rajivanethra. These were already given to Balarama. When Padmavati's Swayamvara was about to take place, the skilled warrior Krishna forcefully took her away and quickly destroyed those who showed bravery in the battle. After that, both brothers, along with their wives and brothers, quickly arrived in Dwaraka and started playing like gods. The delighted Krishna gave Padmavati a palace near Gauri's palace and was very happy. At that time, there was a king named Indragiri in the city of Pushkalavati in the Gandhara country. His wife was named Merusati. They had a son named Himagiri, who was as stable as the Himalayas, and a beautiful daughter named Gandhari, who was very skilled in Gandharva and other arts. When Narada, who had arrived quickly, informed Krishna that Gandhari's brother was giving her to the king of Hayapuri, Sumukh, Krishna quickly went there, killed Himagiri in the battlefield, and took Gandhari away. He married her and was very happy with the gentle-faced woman. He gave Gandhari a beautiful palace near Padmavati's palace and honored her with the best of pleasures. Thus, Krishna, who was always served by eight beloved queens in his inner palace, who were like the eight directions, who enjoyed the abundant fruits of the tree of virtue, who brought joy to the people, and who possessed great strength, attained prosperity.
