Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 25


Sanskrit:

बन्धूनामिच्छतां दातुं कृष्णाय भगिनीं नृप ।ततो निवार्य कृष्णद्विड् रुक्‍मी चैद्यममन्यत ॥ २५ ॥

ITRANS:

bandhūnām icchatāṁ dātuṁkṛṣṇāya bhaginīṁ nṛpatato nivārya kṛṣṇa-dviḍrukmī caidyam amanyata

Translation:

O King, because Rukmī envied the Lord, he forbade his family members to give his sister to Kṛṣṇa, although they wanted to. Instead, Rukmī decided to give Rukmiṇī to Śiśupāla.

Purport:

Rukmī abused his position as elder brother and acted with impure motives. He would only suffer for his decision.
