Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 30


Sanskrit:

विन्द्यानुविन्द्यावावन्त्यौ दुर्योधनवशानुगौ ।स्वयंवरे स्वभगिनीं कृष्णे सक्तां न्यषेधताम् ॥ ३० ॥

ITRANS:

vindyānuvindyāv āvantyauduryodhana-vaśānugausvayaṁvare sva-bhaginīṁkṛṣṇe saktāṁ nyaṣedhatām

Translation:

Vindya and Anuvindya, who shared the throne of Avantī, were followers of Duryodhana’s. When the time came for their sister [Mitravindā] to select her husband in the svayaṁvara ceremony, they forbade her to choose Kṛṣṇa, although she was attracted to Him.

Purport:

The feelings of enmity between the Kurus and the Pāṇḍavas were so strong that Mitravindā’s brothers, out of friendship for Duryodhana, forbade the young maiden to accept Kṛṣṇa as her husband.
