English	When baby Pradyumna was thrown into the sea, he was swallowed by a fish. Later, the fish was caught and sold to Śambara, who gave it to his cook. Māyāvatī, who was formerly known as Rati and who was working in the kitchen, had been Pradyumna's wife in his previous form as Cupid. Māyāvatī knew that after her husband, Cupid, had been burned to ashes by Lord Śiva, he would return to her.
