When your brother, who had been defeated in battle and then disfigured, was later killed during a gambling match on Aniruddha's wedding day, you felt unbearable grief, yet out of fear of losing Me you spoke not a word. By this silence you have conquered Me.

PURPORT

Here Lord Kṛṣṇa refers to an event that will be described in the next chapter. Thus Kṛṣṇa's talks with Rukmiṇī must have taken place after the marriage of Aniruddha.
