On the other hand, Pradyumna was sixteen years old and his youth rose like a rose-bud. One day, being attracted by his personality, Kanakmala, his guardian mother became passionate. She demanded for sexual happiness from him. Prince Pradyumna was astonished hearing her demand. He replied, “Oh ! What is this? Being my mother, why do you demand such an evil thing? How dare you speak for this ?"
Chetan ! How horrible the desire of sexual pleasure is ? From this event, you must have realised it's dreadfulness. So, we have to control our diet for controlling our passion. A poet has said, “If, one who eats leaves, like camel, suffers from passion then god alone knows what will happen to them who eats rich foods, like Kanakmala."
Chetan ! We must be like Pradyumna Kumar who was not entangled in it. When Pradyumna Kumar didn't obey her, she revealed him that, she was not her mother. Kalsanvar king had brought him from the forest and he was brought up by her. She told him not to be shy as she was not his actual mother. She also agreed to give him two great skills Gauri and Pragnapti which she had obtained, if he acceded to her wish. What a strange thing passion is ! Though she was a mother of her other sons and her husband being alive, after Pradyumna's entry in her life, was begging for satisfaction of her evil lust.
