Part 5: Marriage with Susīmā

Now, in the city Āyuskhari there was a king of the country Surāṣtrā, named Rāṣṭravardhana. He had a wife, Vinayā. They had a son, the heir-apparent, long-armed Namuci; and a daughter, Susīmā, whose wealth of beauty was unlimited. Namuci, who had obtained divine weapons, did not regard Kṛṣṇa’s command. One day he went with Susīmā to Prabhāsa to bathe. Hari learned that he had camped there, came with an army, killed him, and took Susīmā. Govinda married her, put her in a palace near Lakṣmaṇā’s palace, and gave her great wealth. King Rāṣṭravardhana sent attendants to Susīmā and elephants, et cetera as a wedding-present to Kṛṣṇa.
