Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 10: Chapter 60: Verses 56-59


you put up with the disfiguration of your brother vanquished in battle, nay, his death[1](too at the hands of Balarama) on the haappy occasion of (Aniruddha's) wedding in a tournament of dice-playing and the grief repeatedly caused by the memory of these (unpleasent) incidents. you (however) never spoke a word (about these things) for fear of separation from Us. By this conduct of yours you have (completely) won me over. A messenger was sent by you with a most judiciously-worded message in order to secure my hand. While I was tarrying, you looked upon this world (full of relatives and friends) as void and (even) sought to cast off this (charming) body of yours, which you did not consider as worthy of anyone else.Let that (unique) love of yours stand to your credit. (Unable to repay it) we (only) hail it with joy.sri suka continued: in this way the almighty Lord of the universe, though immersed in the Bliss of self, sported with Laksmi (in the form of Rukmini) by indulging in amorous talks (with her) imitating the ways of humanity. So did the all-pervading Lord Sri krsna, the preceptor of the universe, sported (simultaneously) in the mansions of His other spouses too, discharging His household duties like a (common) householder.
