TRANSLATION

Because he had promised "I will not reenter Kuṇḍina until I have killed wicked Kṛṣṇa and brought back my younger sister," in a mood of angry frustration Rukmī took up residence at that very place.

PURPORT

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī explains that the word bhoja means "experience" and that kaṭaḥ, according to the Nānārtha-varga dictionary, means "vow." Thus Bhojakaṭa is the place where Rukmī experienced misery as a result of his vow.
