TRANSLATION
Among these jewellike women were eight principal queens, headed by Rukmiṇī. I have already described them one after another, O King, along with their sons.
COMMENTARY
Those eight of whom the principal queen was Rukmiṇī were previously described (udāhṛtāḥ:uktāḥ), as well as their sons.
|| 10.90.31 ||
ekaikasyāṁ daśa daśa kṛṣṇo ’jījanad ātmajān
yāvatya ātmano bhāryā amogha-gatir īśvaraḥ
TRANSLATION
The Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa, whose endeavor never fails, begot ten sons in each of His many wives.
COMMENTARY
There is an alternate version amogha ratiḥ instead of amogha-gatir. In that case the meaning is “one whose desires do not go in vain and are always fulfilled.”
|| 10.90.32 ||
teṣām uddāma-vīryāṇām aṣṭā-daśa mahā-rathāḥ
āsann udāra-yaśasas teṣāṁ nāmāni me śṛṇu
TRANSLATION
Among these sons, all possessing unlimited valor, eighteen were mahā-rathas of great renown. Now hear their names from me.

sāmbo madhur bṛhadbhānuś citrabhānur vṛko ’ruṇaḥ
puṣkaro vedabāhuś ca śrutadevaḥ sunandanaḥ
citrabāhur virūpaś ca kavir nyagrodha eva ca
TRANSLATION
They were Pradyumna, Aniruddha, Dīptimān, Bhānu, Sāmba, Madhu, Bṛhadbhānu, Citrabhānu, Vṛka, Aruṇa, Puṣkara, Vedabāhu, Śrutadeva, Sunandana, Citrabāhu, Virūpa, Kavi and Nyagrodha.
COMMENTARY
The Aniruddha mentioned here is Kṛṣṇa’s son, not His well-known grandson through Pradyumna.
|| 10.90.35 ||
eteṣām api rājendra tanu-jānāṁ madhu-dviṣaḥ
pradyumna āsīt prathamaḥ pitṛ-vad rukmiṇī-sutaḥ
TRANSLATION
O best of kings, of these sons begotten by Lord Kṛṣṇa, the enemy of Madhu, the most prominent was Rukmiṇī’s son Pradyumna. He was just like His father.

sa rukmiṇo duhitaram upayeme mahā-rathaḥ
