Rukmini and all the queens of Dvarka are expansions of Srimati Radharani. They lament that they cannot enter the mood of Vrndavan lila with Krishna and Radharani laments that Krishna is now in Dvarka with His Queens.
"Following this [Jarasandha returning to Magada], Sri Balarama married Revati, daughter of King Raivata, ruler of the Anarta province. This is explained in the Ninth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam. After the marriage of Baladeva, Krishna married Rukmini. Rukmini was the daughter of King Bhismaka, ruler of the province known as Vidarbha. Just as Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vasudeva, Rukmini is the supreme goddess of fortune, Maha-Laksmi. According to the authority of Caitanya-caritamrta, the expansion of Krishna and Sri Radharani is simultaneous; Krishna expands Himself into various Vishnu-tattva forms, and Srimati Radharani expands Herself into various sakti-tattva forms by Her internal potency, as multi-forms of the goddess of fortune."
