PURPORT
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī quotes the following verse describing the pure love between Rukmiṇī and Kṛṣṇa:
- sarvathā dhvaṁsa-rahitaṁ
- saty api dhvaṁsa-kāraṇe
- yad bhāva-bandhanaṁ yūnoḥ
- sa premā parikīrtitaḥ
"When the affectionate bond between a young man and a young woman can never be destroyed, even when there is every cause for the destruction of that relationship, the attachment between them is said to be pure love." This is the nature of the eternal loving affairs between Lord Kṛṣṇa and His pure conjugal associates.
