Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRukmiṇīpati (रुक्मिणीपति) refers to the “husband of Rukmiṇī” and is used to describe Kṛṣṇa, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Gods: “O gods, O sages, all of you listen attentively to my words. What has happened, thanks to my fury, cannot be altered. The lord Kāma, the husband of Rati, shall remain bodiless till Viṣṇu incarnates as Kṛṣṇa on the earth and marries Rukmiṇī [i.e., rukmiṇīpati]. Kṛṣṇa will beget Kāma in Rukmiṇī when he goes to Dvārakā and begins to procreate children. [...]”.
