Lakshmana was the wife of Lord Krishna and the last of the Asthabharya the eight principal queen-consorts. She was the daughter of an unnamed ruler of Madra provinces. The King organized the swayamvara ceremony, where the archer had to shoot the target to win the hand of bride for marriage. Among all the princes gathered, Duryodhana and Jarasandha miss the target. Arjun the Pandava prince and Krishna's cousin, described as the best archer at times, missed his aim at the target intentionally. Arjun’s brother Bhima refused to participate in deference to Krishna. Ultimately, Lord Krishna wins by hitting the target and got married to her. Rohini is also Krishna’s wife and one of the Asthabharya.
Whereas in The Bhagavata Purana it is mentioned that Lord Krishna abducts Lakshmana from the swayamvara.
