TRANSLATION

Vindya and Anuvindya, who shared the throne of Avantī, were followers of Duryodhana's. When the time came for their sister [Mitravindā] to select her husband in the svayaḿvara ceremony, they forbade her to choose Kṛṣṇa, although she was attracted to Him.

PURPORT

The feelings of enmity between the Kurus and the Pāṇḍavas were so strong that Mitravindā's brothers, out of friendship for Duryodhana, forbade the young maiden to accept Kṛṣṇa as her husband.
