Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.52.41) states:

śvo bhāvini tvam ajitodvahane vidarbhān guptaḥ sametya pṛtanā-patibhiḥ parītaḥ

nirmathya caidya-magadhendra-balaṃ prasahya māṃ rākṣasena vidhinodvaha vīrya-śulkām

“O unconquerable one, tomorrow when my marriage ceremony is about to begin, You should arrive unseen in Vidarbha and surround Yourself with the leaders of Your army. Then crush the forces of Caidya and

Magadhendra and marry me in the Rākṣasa style, winning me with Your valor.”
