Rukmi was living in the city Bhojakata. For the marriage of Aniruddha with the granddaughter of Rukmi, Balaraama and Krishna, along with the Yaadavaas, came there to witness and participate in the marriage, along with all the other kings.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 10:

When Pradyumna's son's marriage was completed, the marriage ceremonies were over, Kalinga Raaja and others gathered with Rukmi and advised him thus –

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 11:

Balaraama who is very powerful, is ignorant about gambling, but even then, is very much addicted to gambling. So, let us win over Balaraama through gambling. Anyway, we cannot fight with him and win.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 12:

Sri Paraasharar – Rukmi, who was very arrogant with the support of all the other kings, agreed to whatever the Kalinga Raaja and others said. And he invited Balaraama to a game of gambling.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 13:

Rukmi won 1000 Nishkaas, gold coins, initially, and the second time also, he won over.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 14:

After that, they kept 10000 Nishkaas, as the bet for the third game of gambling. Rukmi won over that also, because Rukmi was an expert in gambling.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 15:

Seeing this, the stupid Kalinga Raaja, laughed loudly making a lot of noise, showing all his teeth. Rukmi also was very arrogant, and he said thus –

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 16:

Balabhadra was defeated by me and he is ignorant of this gambling. Simply he is boasting. He thinks that he wants to gamble. He used to disrespected all the experts.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 17:

When he saw that Kalinga Raaja, who was showing all his teeth and laughing very loudly, and also seeing Rukmi who was talking ill of him, Balaraama got extremely angry.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 18:

Balaraama got so angry, that he kept one crore Nishkaas, as the bet. And then Rukmi picked up the dice, and threw them.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 19:

This time, Balaraama won the one crore Nishkaas which he had kept. And he shouted loudly – "I have won, I have won". And then, Rukmi also said that "I had won. You are telling lies".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 20:

He said – "When I was about to throw the dice, you only told some number. I did not say anything and I did not accept that number, If you say that you have won over, why should I not say that I have won over? I never got a chance, and will not accept what you said".

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Both have to agree to the bet and the game. If the other one has not agreed, how can you say that you have won?

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 21:

Sri Paraasharar – At that time, there was an aakaashavaani in the skies, and that increased the anger of Baladeva. What that voice said was –

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 22:

The voice said that – Balaraama has only won over, and this is the proper dharma. He followed the dharma, and he has won over, and Rukmi is telling lies. Even if he did not say that he had agreed or not, though he did not express, since he threw the dice, he actually played, it means that he had agreed only.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Though he did not say whether he accepted the bet or not, he threw the dice anyway. This means that he has accepted the bet. He acted as though he has accepted, which means that he has accepted only. The voice from the skies said this.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 23:

Then Balaraama got so angry that he got up and hit and killed Rukmi, with the dice itself, and whatever is used for gambling.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 24:

Balaraama caught hold of Kalinga Raaja, and being extremely angry, broke all his teeth, which he was revealing and laughing loudly.

When Rukmi's other friends, kings who were all getting angry, on seeing what happened, saw a golden pole there, and snatched that pole, and killed all the other kings assembled there.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 26:

Balaraama was very angry, and all the kings were extremely terrified. They all ran away from that place.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 28, Shloka 27:

Krishna saw that Rukmi was killed, by Balaraama, and even then, He did not open His mouth, because He was scared of Rukmini and also Balaraama.

And He took Aniruddha along with his wife, and came back to Dwaarakaa.
