demigods

The Yadavas continued on their way, gaining victory for victory. While in their camp they were resting by the Arunoda River, Indra, seated on his elephant Airavata, suddenly descended from the sky. While the Yadavas were gathering their weapons, the king of heaven said to Pradyumna, “O gallant king, please listen to me. 

There is a wondrous city called Lilavati, which located on the top of Mount Suvarnagiri. It is ruled by a king of vidyadharas, Sukriti. He has a beautiful daughter, Sundari, who is radiant like hundreds of moons. All the demigods, including the lords of the planets, want to go to her svayamvara. 

However, the princess said: “I would only like to marry that man, looking at whom I would lose consciousness". O Pradyumna, you should visit to svayamvara of Sundari with your brothers." Then Pradyumna and his brothers went together with Indra to the city of Lilavati. The arena of Sundari's swayamvara was beautifully decorated. All the demigods were sitting there, but upon the arrival of Pradyumna, they lost all hope of obtaining the lovely Sundari. Sundari then entered the arena, holding a garland of gems in her hands. She was so attractive that everyone who looked at her forgot everything in the world. As soon as Sundari glanced at the charming Pradyumna, she instantly fainted. When she regained consciousness, she put a garland around Pradyumna's neck. And King Sukriti gave his daughter to Pradyumna. 

However, the demigods present there could not tolerate this. They surrounded the arena with weapons in hand. Then Pradyumna roared like a lion and began to shoot his arrows in streams, destroying the weapons of the demigods. When all the demigods fled and the wedding was over, Pradyumna decided to return to Bharatavarsa.
