*' When Pradyumna was but six days old, he was stolen from the lying-in chamber by Sambara, terrible as death ; for the demon foreknew that Pradyumna, if he lived, would be his destroyer. Taking away the boy, Sambara cast him into the ocean, swarming with monsters, into a whirlpool of roaring waves, the haunt of the huge creatures of the deep. A large fish swallowed the child, but he died not, and was born anew from its belly : for that fish, with others, was caught by the fishermen, and delive...red by them to the great Asura Sambara. His wife Mayadevi, the mistress of his household, superintended the operations of the cooks, and saw, when the fish was cut open, a beautiful child, looking like a new shoot of the blighted tree of love. Whilst wondering who this should be, and how he could have got into the belly of the fish, N^rada came to satisfy her curiosity, and said to the graceful dame, " This is the son of him by whom the whole world is created and destroyed, the son of Vishnu, who was stolen by 462 PRA Sambara from the lying-iu chamber, and tossed by him into the sea, where he was swallowed by the fish.
