About the Book: Pradyumna : Lover, Magician, and Scion of the Avatara
This book provides the first full-scale English-language study of Pradyumna,
the son of the Hindu god Krsna. Often represented as a young man in
mid-adolescence, Pradyumna is both a handsome double of his demon-slaying father
and the rebirth of Kamadeva, the God of Love. Sanskrit epic, puranic, and kavya
narratives of the 300-1300 CE period celebrate Pradyumnas sexual potency,
mastery of illusory subterfuges, and military prowess in supporting the work of
his avatara father. These materials reflect the values of an evolving
Brahminical and Vaisnava tradition that was deeply invested in the imperatives
of family,
