Before Advent of Krsna and Balarama / Revati

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakudmi

In one Incarnation

Dwaraka, before the advent of Krsna and Balarama, was known as Kusasthali,and was ruled over by one great king of the name Revata. Maharaja Revata hadone hundred sons and a beautiful daughter named Revati. When this beautifulgirl came of age, Revata, being anxious to find a good husband for her,approached Lord Brahma, who presides over sacred vivahas (marriageceremonies), for advice, along with Revati. Lord Brahma told Revata thatthere was only one person befitting his daughter and that was the son ofVasudeva, the Personality of Godhead, Lord Balarama. The king, on the goodadvice of Lord Brahma, returned to Dwaraka and married his daughter to Balarama.

In Another Incarnation

When King Ravita had lost his kingdom to his enemies he performed penance to win the grace of Lord Brahma.Brahma who was pleased with his penance, gifted him the talisman and told him, "Give this raksha to your daughter. She will grow up to become an adept in mace-fight. The man who can excel her in wielding the mace-fight would become her husband and he will help you in winning back your kingdom.
"Later Revati learned the art of mace -fight from the preceptor, Sandeepani, in his ashram. There she met her match in Balarama, who along with his brother, Krishna was also a student of Sandeepani.Balarama defeated Revati in a mace-fight and married her. Later he helped his father-in-law to regain his kingdom from his enemies.

Birth Story

Bhishma said thus: “O Dharmaja! I now tell you about the conversation beween Maheswara and Uma devi, that too with the kind permission of Sri Krishna.

Sri Krishna married Rukmini. For long time, they did not beget children. Sri Krishna along with Rukmini went to Himalayas and performed Vratas for 12 years. At that time Saints Narada, Vyasa, Valmiki, Devala, Kasyapa etc arrived there to meet Sri Krishna. Sri Krishna and his wife Rukmini received them with due honours. While Sri Krishna was talking with them, a great fire emanated from the face of Sri Krishna and started to destroy the forests. The animals, birds, saints, sidhas, sadhyas who were doing tapas there, were running away. Beholding this, Sri Krishna with his kind looks, withdrew all flames. The forest resumed to normal position.

Beholding this, the sages and saints assembled there astonished. They all asked Sri Krishna: “O Krishna! the entire universe is created and destroyed by you only. The entire creation is under your control. Everything is occurring according to your intentions. But how the flames emanated from you. Kindly tell us.” asked the saints.

Sri Krishna said thus: “There was a Rakshasa. He was an expert in archery skills. He learnt archery from me. Hence I dont want to kill him. Taking advantage of my weakness, he was teasing the inmates of three Lokas with his cruel behaviour. I am vexed with his behaviour. I should beget a son to kill that Rakshasa. Hence I came here for doing Tapas. Due to the gravity of Tapas, flames emanated from my body and burnt the forests. Those flames spread upto Brahma Loka. Brahma blessed me with a son. He is Manmadha. I withdrew my flames and resumed the forests to their normal position. That is what you have seen.” said Sri Krishna.

Nature's forces

8000 (~5525 BCE) year-old wall along the Konkan coast. Nature's forces were already and visibly at work and this could be the reason why Krishna might have predicted upcoming flooding and destruction of his Dwarka.
