The Bhagavata Purana mentions Lakshmana, who is endowed with good qualities, as the daughter of an unnamed ruler of the kingdom of Madra.

[6][7] Lakshmana's father had organized a svayamvara ceremony, in which a bride chooses a groom from assembled suitors.

The Bhagavata Purana mentions that Krishna abducts Lakshmana from the svayamvara, just like the demigod-eagle Garuda had stolen the jar of the elixir of life (amrita) from the gods.

[4] The Bhagavata Purana states that she had ten sons: Praghosha, Gatravan, Simha, Bala, Prabala, Urdhvaga, Mahashakti, Saha, Oja and Aparajita.

[11] The Mausala Parva of the Hindu epic Mahabharata which describes the death of Krishna and end of his race declares that only four committed, others kill themselves by burning themselves alive after being attacked by robbers.
