KB 10.55.26
Pradyumna’s wife, Māyāvatī, could travel in outer space, and therefore they directly reached his father’s capital, Dvārakā, by the airways. They passed above the palace of Lord Kṛṣṇa and came down as a cloud comes down with lightning. The inner section of a palace is known as the antaḥ-pura (private apartments). Pradyumna and Māyāvatī could see many women there, and they set down among them.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
It was the best among all palaces since it belonged to the Lord. It was occupied with many women related to the Rukmiṇī, the best of all queens. Pradyumna arrived with Rati (patnyā).
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
It was the best among all palaces since it belonged to the Lord or because it was occupied with many women related to the Rukmiṇī, the best of all queens. It was filled with other queens or beautiful women, or the friends of Rukmiṇī. Pradyumna entered with his wife Rati. O king! Śukadeva exclaims in joy. Or Pradyumna was shining (rājan). Suddenly he appeared with his wife, shining black and gold like lightning in a dark cloud.
