The handsome and valiant Pradyumna is the most beloved and famous son of Krishna... Believed to be one among the four vyuha avataras, he is also one of the 24 Keshava namas (names in praise) of Vishnu... He was born to Krishna and Rukmini in Dwaraka. He is commonly considered to be the reincarnation of Kama Deva, the God of Love, who was burnt to ashes by Shiva, in a fit of rage... The valiant Pradyumna led and won many a battle during his rule. However, he was killed in a way that was least befitting the mighty warrior that he was. He lost his life in a drunken brawl in Krishna's court at Dwaraka...
