FILE INFO | Caption | When Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, heard that the princess Nagnajiti was to be won as a bride, He left for the capital of Kaushalya. The King's daughter, Nagnajiti, saw Krishna and immediately desired to have Him. She prayed, "May He become my husband. If I have kept my vows, may the sacred fire bring about the fulfillment of my hopes." The King addressed Krishna, "My Lord, who could be a better husband for my daughter than You, the exclusive abode of all transcendental qualities? On Your body the goddess of fortune herself resides, never leaving You for any reason. But to ascertain the proper husband for my daughter, O chief of the Satvatas, we previously set a condition to test the prowess of her suitors. These seven wild bulls are impossible to tame, O hero. They have defeated many princes, breaking their limbs. If You can subdue them, O descendent of Yadu, You will certainly be the appropriate bridegroom for my daughter, O Lord of Sri. Hearing these terms, the Lord tightened His clothing and expanded Himself into seven forms. He easily subdued the bulls and tied them up with ropes; then pulled them just as a child playfully pulls wooden toys. -Excerpt from Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.58.41-44 | Headline | Krishna Subdues the Seven Bulls to Win Nagnajiti's Hand | Copyright Notice | © Copyright The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International, Inc.
