The palace of Rukmini is described in order to show the perfection of all elements in her serving Krsna with love. The room was splendid, with shining jewels and a canopy hanging with clusters of bright pearls. It was splendid with the pure red rays of the rising moon, entering through the lattice work of the windows, and with aguru incense streaming out through the lattice work. There she served Krsna who was lying on the best of beds (kasiputtame).

The place where the pastime took place is now described in seven lines. To describe their prema, first the articles acting as uddīpanas for Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī described. Three and a half verses included the description of house and the bed. One line describes Rukmiṇī’s prema as she served him and Kṛṣṇa sitting on the bed. She had a rectangular room within the palace which had many rooms with rooftop apartments. The room was lit naturally by jewels (rājite), and particularly bright (vi--rājite) by the canopies and jeweled lamps. Strings of jasmines decorated the doorways and other flowers were sprinkled here and there. In some versions dhupaiḥ is seen instead of puṣpaiḥ. This would be ordinary incense, since later aguru incense is mentioned. The moon rays were red (aruṇaiḥ—a version instead of amalaiḥ), having just risen. This incident took place after dusk. The rays of the moon and the aguru incense suggest the beauty of the room. The fumes of the incense left the room before the moon rays entered. Thus a pleasant breeze is also suggested. Previous to the episode with Indra, pārijāta plants had been established in each of the queens’ houses. Other trees were there, because of relationship with the wind from the chief pārijāta grove, like a chief sandalwood tree. That tree was not sent there by servants, but brought by the Lord personally, after a battle. Not only was there the fragrance of the pārijāta but the fragrance of many other flowers in the garden (udyana). Aguru incense streamed out everywhere (vi—nirgataḥ) through the lattice holes. In the rooftop apartment there was an excellent bed described in one line. Rukmiṇī served him. The continuous descriptions of her from this verse onwards indicate her desire to serve him.

Three and a half verses include the description of house and the bed. The room was lit naturally by jewels (rājite), and particularly bright (vi--rājite) by the canopies and jeweled lamps. Strings of jasmines decorated the doorways and other flowers were sprinkled here and there. The proper setting is thus described. The pastime began in the evening. Pārijāta plants had been established in each of the queens’ houses by Indra previously for pleasing all the queens. Not only was there the fragrance of the pārijāta but the fragrance of many other flowers in the garden (udyana). The breeze was cool because of the cool garden. Not only was it cool but very gentle. Aguru incense streamed out everywhere (vi—nirgataḥ) through the lattice holes. Seeing Parīkṣit shining with joy on hearing this, Śukadeva calls to him. O shining king (rājan)! Out of joy the method of serving the Lord is described in two lines. In the room, there was a bed with an excellent pillow. The description of her serving is repeated to indicate her pleasure in serving.
