PURPORT
This verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.60.24) refers to Krsna’s speaking to Rukmini in His bedroom.
Just to test her sincerity, He began to joke with her, presenting Himself as poor, incapable and unfit to be her lover.
Not understanding that He was joking, Rukmini took Him seriously and thought that He wanted to leave her company.
This misunderstanding made her very unhappy, and her whole body was affected.
Her fan and bangles fell to the floor, and she also fell down like a banana tree knocked down by high winds.
