प्रद्युम्नः [pradyumnḥ], An epithet of Cupid, the god of love. [He was a son of Kṛiṣṇa and Rukmiṇī. When only six years old, he was stolen away by the demon Śambara for he was foretold that Pradyumna would be his destroyer. Śambara cast the child into the roaring sea, and a large fish swallowed it. This fish was caught by a fisherman and taken to the demon; and when it was cut up, a beautiful child came out from the belly, and Māyāvatī, the mistress of Śambara's household, at the desire of Nārada, carefully reared him from childhood. As he grew up, she was fascinated by the beauty of his person, but Pradyumna reproved her for entertaining towards himself feelings so unbecoming a mother as he considered her. But when he was told that he was not her son, but of Viṣṇu and was cast into the sea by Śambara, he became enraged, and, challenging him to fight, succeeded in killing him by the force of illusions. He and Māyāvatī afterwards repaired to the house of Kṛiṣṇa, where Nārada told him and Rukmiṇī that the boy was their own and that Māyāvatī was his wife.]

PRADYUMNA :
1) General information. A son born to Śrī Kṛṣṇa of his wife Rukmiṇī, Pradyumna was the rebirth of Kāma- deva. (For genealogy see under Kṛṣṇa).
2) Birth. It was at the time when Kāmadeva and Ratidevī were living together that Pārvatī, daughter of Himavān, started her penance to get Śiva as her hus- band. It was a need of the devas to get a son of Śiva to kill the fierce demon Tārakāsura. The devas employed Kāmadeva to create feelings of love in the ascetic Śiva and make him marry Pārvatī. Taking instructions from Indra, Kāmadeva took aim at Śiva with his bow and arrow. Śiva was then in deep meditation and Kāma- deva broke his concentration and Śiva got angry. He opened his third eye and burnt Kāmadeva to death.
Griefstricken by the death of her husband Ratidevī per- formed penance near the Himālayas to propitiate Mahādevī. Mahādevī appeared before her and consoled her thus: “Little girl, Kāmadeva would be reborn as the son of Śrī Kṛṣṇa of Rukmiṇī. He would then be named Pradyumna. The devas have cursed Śambara the leader of the asuras, during the battle between the demons and the demi-gods that he (Śambara) would be killed by Pradyumna. So Śambara is now searching for the infant which is a rebirth of Kāmadeva. So you abandon your present body and be born again as Māyā- vatī to be the wife of Śambara. Pradyumna, the re- born Kāmadeva, would kill Śambara and accept you as his wife.” Devī disappeared after saying this.
Obeying the instructions of Mahādevī, Rati abandoned her life and was born in the world of asuras. She grew up under the name Māyāvatī and became the wife of Śambara.
While Śrī Kṛṣṇa was living as the chief of Dvārakā his first wife Rukmiṇī was yearning for a child. Kṛṣṇa was deeply moved by the grief of Rukmiṇī and he flew on the back of Garuḍa to Kailāsa to obtain a boon for the birth of a child for her. On the way he alighted in the āśrama of Naranārāyaṇas and after obtaining the bless- ings of the sages there, went to Kailāsa and bowed before Śiva and explained to him the purpose of his visit. Śiva blessed him and said that Kāmadeva who was burnt to death by the fire of his third eye would take birth again as the son of Rukmiṇī. Kṛṣṇa returned to Dvārakā well-pleased. Rukmiṇī became pregnant and gave birth to Pradyumna, a rebirth of Kāmadeva. The demon Śambara knew of this birth and coming to Dvārakā in an invisible form carried away the infant when it was seven days old.
The demon threw the child into the ocean and a great fish swallowed it. The fishermen of the country of Śambara caught this fish and following the custom pre- valent there presented the king with the fish. Śambara called his wife Māyāvatī and asked her to take the fish and get it cooked. When Māyāvatī cut open the fish for cooking she found to her surprise a beautiful child in- side it. Even from the first sight of the child Māyāvatī had a great liking for it and so she took the child and brought it up as her own child.
When Pradyumna grew into a youth all the charm and beauty of Kāmadeva were found in him. Māyāvatī was excited to find a resemblance in him of her lost husband Kāmadeva. One day the great sage Nārada came that way and calling Māyāvatī to his side secretly revealed to her that Pradyumna was the incarnation of Kāmadeva and was thus her lost husband. From that day onwards Māyāvatī's affection for him changed into one of love. She taught him all the magic and witch- craft of Śambara. When Pradyumna found that Māyā- vatī's affection for him was gradually changing into one of passionate love he questioned her about it. Māyāvatī then told him everything that happened and Pra- dyumna decided to kill Śambara and take Māyāvatī away.
3) War with Śambara. Pradyumna waited for an opportunity to kill Śambara. One day Pradyumna went under the flagstaff of Śambara which flew the royal flag of the king with an emblem of the figure of a lion em- bossed on it. He dropped it down by one stroke of his arrow. Hearing of this Śambara ordered his sons to kill Pradyumna. The eleven sons of Śambara, viz., Atisena, Citrasena, Viṣvaksena, Śrutasena, Suṣeṇa, Somasena, Ākkāla, Vikala, Kumbhaketu, Sudaṁṣṭra and Keśī, attacked Pradyumna. The devas came in their vimānas and joined sides with Pradyumna. The army of the demons teased him with various kinds of weapons like javelins, arrows, spears and battle axes. But Pra- dyumna cut them all by his arrows and cut to pieces all the sons of Śambara. Then Śambara sent an army against him. They were also made to flee by the arrows of Pradyumna. Then Śambara himself came on the scene. The fight became horrible. The continuous flow of arrows made it impossible for even Sun's rays to reach the earth. Then Śambara started his magical war. But Pradyumna faced that also. Śambara sent phantom lions; but Pradyumna made them immobile. Śambara then in turn created storms, rains, wild animals, ser- pents and vultures. All of them were killed by Pradyu- mna. Then with a well-aimed arrow Pradyumna killed Śambara. Then he rushed to Dvārakā carrying Māyā- vatī with him. The people of Dvārakā were astounded to see them. Pradyumna went to Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Ruk- miṇī and told them the whole story. They were over- joyed to find them and blessed them.
Aniruddha who married Uṣā the daughter of Bāṇa was the son of Pradyumna. (Chapters 103 to 108, 10th Skandha, Bhāgavata).
4) Prabhāvatīpariṇaya. Marriage with Prabhāvatī. (See under Prabhāvatī).

(ix) After his death Pradyumna took the form of Sanatkumāra. (Śloka 13, Chapter 5, Svargārohaṇa Parva).
