Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 47 — Arjuna’s Deterrent Declaration
Sañjaya’s Report
यो रुक्मिणीमेकरथेन भोजा- नुत्साद्य राज्ञ: समरे प्रसहा । उवाह भार्या यशसा ज्वलन्तीं यस्यां जज्ञे रौक्मिणेयो महात्मा,“जिन्होंने एकमात्र रथकी सहायतासे युद्धमें भोजवंशी राजाओंको बलपूर्वक पराजित करके (रूप, सौन्दर्य और) सुयशके द्वारा प्रकाशित होनेवाली उस परम सुन्दरी रुक्मिणीको पत्नीरूपसे ग्रहण किया, जिसके गर्भसे महामना प्रद्युम्मका जन्म हुआ है
yo rukmiṇīm ekaratheṇa bhojān utsādya rājñaḥ samare prasahā | uvāha bhāryāṃ yaśasā jvalantīṃ yasyāṃ jajñe raukmiṇeyo mahātmā ||
Sañjaya said: He who, mounting a single chariot, forcibly crushed the Bhoja kings in battle and took as his wife Rukmiṇī—radiant with beauty and blazing with noble fame—she in whose womb the great-souled Pradyumna was born.
