Rukmani / रुक्मिणी
- Rukmani was a daughter of Bhishmak, king of Vidarbh, and sister of Rukmi.
- Rukmani had fallen in love with Krishna, but her brother Rukmi was a friend of Kans, who had been killed by Krishna, and therefore opposed the marriage.
- Against Rukmini's will, he arranged for her to be married to Shishupal, king of Chedi.

- She was one of the principal eight wives and the mother of Pradyumn and nine other sons.
- They also had one daughter named Charumati.
- At Krishna's death she immolated herself on his funeral pyre.
