Marriage
The Bhagavata Purana narrates the tale of Nagnajiti's marriage. Nagnajit, also known as Kumbagan, was a pious king who followed the Vedic scriptures with great devotion. He had set condition for the marriage of Satya that her husband should win her by defeating his seven ferocious bulls in combat. However, no prince who challenged to do the task could control the seven bulls to win the hand of Satya. Upon learning of the challenge, Krishna set out for Kosala Kingdom with a large retinue. As Krishna approached Nagnajit in his court, the king rose from his throne and honoured Krishna with gifts and welcomed him warmly to Kosala. Naganjiti was also very joyful to see Krishna and prayed that Krishna be her husband. Both the king and his daughter were aware of Krishna's divinity. Nagnajit offered his veneration to Krishna and asked the purpose of his visit. When Krishna declared that he wished to marry Satya, the King stated that there would no better husband for his daughter, but he had taken a vow that he would marry his daughter to a brave prince who would bring the seven bulls under control. The king also praised Krishna's valour and told him that he could easily tame the seven bulls which had almost mauled the other princes who had tried.[9][10]
Upon listening to the king, Krishna entered the arena expanding into seven forms and easily put a noose around the seven bulls, humbling them. King Naganajit was pleased with the outcome, and his daughter was delighted to take Krishna as her husband. The marriage was celebrated with pomp and grandeur. The king presented Krishna with a dowry of 10,000 cows, 9,000 elephants, 900,000 chariots, 90,000,000 female, and 9,000,000,000 male servants. Finally, Krishna and Satya departed towards Dvaraka, accompanied by their army to protect them. On the way, they were attacked by the princes who had lost in Nagnajit's bull challenge. Krishna's army, fielded by his Yadava clan warriors and his friend Arjuna, defeated the princes and chased them away. Krishna then entered Dvaraka in glory accompanied by his wife Naganajiti.[9][10]
Later life
Nagnajiti has ten sons: Vira, Chandra, Ashvasena, Citragu, Vegavan, Vrsha, Ama, Shanku, Vasu, and Kunti.[11] The Vishnu Purana says that she has many sons by Bhadravinda.[6] The Bhagavata Purana, which describes the death of Krishna and end of most of his race, records the leap of Nagnajiti and other chief queens onto Krishna's funeral pyre, immolating themselves.[12]
