## Chapter Thirty-Seven

**Mन्मथ, मदन, काम, कामदेव, मनोभव** - by these names, he was known. Though he was not **अनंग** (without a body), he was called **अनंग** (without a body). **Meaning:** Pradyumna was the embodiment of Kamadeva. In literature, one of the names of Kama is Ananga, hence Pradyumna was also called Ananga. || 25 ||

Having defeated Simharatha in battle, who had conquered five hundred sons, Pradyumna showed his prowess to Kalasambara. **Meaning:** At that time, a Vidhyadhara named Simharatha was fighting against Kalasambara. To defeat him, he sent his five hundred sons, but Simharatha defeated them all. Pradyumna was such a skilled warrior that he defeated him in battle and presented him to Kalasambara. || 26 ||

Seeing such a valiant son, Kalasambara was very pleased and considered both the ranks of victors to be under his control. || 27 ||

Impressed by this, the king, according to the rules, bestowed upon Pradyumna the great crown of the Yuvaraja, which was like a flower for the fruit of the great kingdom. || 28 ||

The five hundred sons of King Kalasambara then began to think of ways to destroy Pradyumna from all sides. || 29 ||

They were constantly looking for ways to deceive him. But they were unable to deceive him while he was sitting, sleeping, wearing clothes, chewing betel nut, eating, or drinking. || 30 ||

One day, a group of princes, who were accustomed to acting according to dharma, took the virtuous Pradyumna Kumar near the gate of the Siddhayatana and encouraged him, saying, "Whoever climbs to the top of this gate will receive a treasure of knowledge and a crown from the god who resides there." Inspired by his companions, the prince quickly climbed to the top of the gate and received a treasure of knowledge and a crown from the god who resided there. || 31-32 ||

Then, encouraged by his brothers, he quickly entered the cave called Mahakal and obtained a sword, shield, umbrella, and fly whisk from there. || 33 ||

From there, he went to the Naga cave and obtained a superior footstool, a Naga bed, a seat, a Veena, and the knowledge of building palaces from the god who resided there. || 34 ||

From there, he went to a well and obtained a tall flag marked with the sign of a Makara from the god he had defeated in battle. Then, he entered the fire pit and obtained two garments purified by fire. || 35 ||

After that, he entered the mountain shaped like a ram and obtained two earrings for his ears. Then, he entered the forest called Panduka and obtained a crown and a garland of nectar from the god named Markata who resided there. || 36 ||
