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.
