SB 10.60.47
naivalikam aham manye
 vacas te madhusudana
ambaya eva hi prayah
 kanyayah syad ratih kvacit

Translation:
Actually, I don’t consider Your words false, Madhusudana. Quite often an unmarried girl is attracted to a man, as in the case of Amba.

Purport:
Having refuted everything Lord Krsna said, Srimati Rukmini, in a gracious frame of mind, now praises the truthfulness of His statements. In other words, she accepts that Lord Krsna used her as an example to elucidate ordinary female psychology. The King of Kasi had three daughters — Amba, Ambalika and Ambika — and Amba was attracted to Salva. This story is narrated in the Mahabharata.
