Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda
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.
