Kakudmi was blessed with a daughter Revati. The father took her to Brahmaloka for advice regarding her marriage. On reaching there they found Haha and Huhu the Gandharvas were singing the music of Atidana. The music went on through the three methods of Chitra, Dakshina and Kartika. the musicians kept elaborating for quiet a few aeons! Kakudmi was lost in the music and remained listening to it. He never felt the passage of time. When the music concluded he went close to Brahma and prayed to him to choose a suitable groom for his girl. Brahma asked him O! King who are the men you have found to be suitable? Kakudmi recited a list and asked Brahma to choose one of them.
Brahma bent his head a little and smiled. King! even the boys of the succeeding generations of the people you have mentioned are not available. while you were lost in the music several aeons have flashed by on the earth. it is almost the end of Vaivasvata Manvantara. Only you are alive to give away the girl only you two have escaped death by tarrying here.All your sons, friends, ministers servants wives relatives army and treasury are all gone. but the King was not worried of the loss he was only worried about a suitable groom for his girl. O Lord! to whom then can i Gift this girl?
Brahma thought that the person worthy of such a bride was the Lord and no other. He held his hands together in salutation and said. "Sri Vishnu has incarnated on the earth as a portion of Himself. He has no beginning middle or end. Time has no effect on his form nature fame and strength e is not subject to decay...... You had been ruling over Kusasthali which has now become Dwaraka. the Yadava kings rule over it. The Lords portion as Adisesha has incarnated here as Balarama. You should get your daughter married to him as this would be appropriate."
Kukudmi hurried to the earth. e found men but they were all dwarfs and lacked strength. he went to Dwaraka and found the place totally transformed. earlier Kusasthali was on the seashore. now it was an island in the ocean. Balarama lived here. He held a plough, appeared as white as a crystalline mountain, tall and hefty. Kakudmi happily gave Revati in marriage to Balarama who accepted her willingly.
but she belonged to earlier aeon where the people were very tall. Balarama was short in accordance to the present times. Balarama placed his plough on Revati's head and pressed her down till she reached a height suitable to him. the marriage took place and thereafter king Kukudmi went away to the Himalayas to perform Tapas.
