Purana

King Nagnajiti of Kosala, father of Satya, had seven oxen like elephants in strength. The King proclaimed that his daughter would be married to the person who would tie down the oxen. Various Kings attempted the task but failed. Ultimately Arjuna and Krishna went to Kosala and Krishna assumed seven forms and tied down the oxen with cords. The seven oxen at once fell down. Krishna then married Satya who loved him ever since she heard about him.
