2. m. (-ddhaḥ) ¹ The name of the son of Pradyumna or

Kāmadeva by Śubhāṅgī or, according to others, Kaku-

dvatī, the daughter of Rukmin; his wife is Uṣā, the

daughter of Vāna, or, according to others, Subhadrā, the

granddaughter of Rukmin, and his son Vajra.--The

3. n. (-ddham) A rope for fastening cattle. E. a neg.

and niruddha. (It is doubtful whether the meaning 1. 3. (move-

able) or the meaning 2. 4. (spy) is the correct one, the

translation being founded on the word cara, given as one

of the meanings of aniruddha, but without any further in-

dication as to the gender. From the place, however, cara

occupies in the explanation of some of the native dictio-

naries, the meaning ‘spy’ is likely to be preferable to the

meaning ‘moveable’.)

Balarāma and others went. Came back to Dvārakā with

his newly wedded wife.¹ Seen in a dream by Uṣā. Picture

of him drawn by Citralekhā, who made him enjoy Uṣā's

company at Śoṇitapura. Bāṇa came to know of this and

imprisoned him to the great regret of his daughter.² Nārada

communicated the news of Aniruddha's imprisonment to

Kṛṣṇa and Vṛṣṇis. These departed to Śoṇitapura, beseiged

it, and humbled the pride of Bāṇa. The latter agreed to

set Aniruddha free and allow him to marry his daughter.

2) Birth. Śrī Kṛṣṇa had 16008 wives. Out of the 16008

from Rukmiṇī was born Pradyumna and from Pra-

dyumna, Aniruddha.

3) Kidnapped by Uṣā. One of the stories about this

handsome prince refers to his being kidnapped by Uṣā

daughter of Bāṇāsura. Bāṇāsura, chief among the 100

sons of emperor Mahābali had 1000 hands. Śiva pleased

by the sacrificial devotion of Bāṇāsura granted, as

requested by him, the boon that he himself (Śiva) and

Pārvatī would guard the fort of the Asura, of course

with some reluctance. Now, none had the prowess to

attack this valiant Asura. Overflowing with conceit at

this he challenged Śiva to a fight. Śiva foretold that

the flagstaff of Bāṇa would one day be broken and

then a powerful antagonist would defeat him. Bāṇa

impatiently awaited the threatened day.

One day Uṣā happened to witness the scene of Śiva

and Pārvatī engaged in love-making. Excited by the

sight Uṣā too desired to enact such a scene with a lover,

and she intimated her desire to Pārvatī. Pārvatī told

her that Uṣā would, within three days, see in a dream

a handsome prince with whom she might make love.

Accordingly, dressed herself in all glory with choicest

ornaments Uṣā awaited the happy day. On the third

day a handsome prince appeared before her in her

dream. Waking up, she began crying. Seeing Uṣā crying

Citralekhā, her companion, and daughter of her father's

minister, assured her (Uṣā) that whoever might be the

prince who appeared in her dream shall be brought

down with the power of Mantra. Citralekhā drew the

pictures of all princes known to her and showed them to

Uṣā. The pictures represented all handsome men from

Devas to men. ‘No, this is not my prince charming’ was

Uṣā's reply. Then Citralekhā drew the picture of Śrī Kṛṣṇa

of Pradyumna, and then of Aniruddha. When Uṣā saw

Aniruddha's picture she stretched her hands to embrace

that. It was this prince who had appeared before her

in the dream.

Next night Citralekhā, by the power of her Mantra,

brought into Uṣā's room from Dvārakā Aniruddha, who

was then in his sleep. While Uṣā and Aniruddha were

thus together in the room her father, Bāṇa, got scent

of it and took Aniruddha into custody.

The disappearance of Aniruddha led to much commotion

in Dvārakā. Then Nārada reached Dvārakā and gave

details about the Aniruddha incident. Śrī Kṛṣṇa and

Pradyumna, in all rage, hurried to Bāṇa's palace and

encircled his palace with a strong army. Then did Bāṇa's

flagstaff break into two and fell down. The fierce fight

that ensued ended in the defeat of Bāṇa. Aniruddha

married Uṣā and the elated couple started for Dvārakā.

Vajra was the son of Aniruddha. (Bhāgavata, Daśama

Skandha, Chapters 61, 62 and 63).

4) More information. (1) It was at the feet of Arjuna

that Aniruddha mastered the Dhanurveda (Science

of warfare). (M.B., Sabhā Parva, Chapter 4, Verse

36).

(2) Aniruddha is also conceived in the forms of Viṣṇu

and Brahmā. (M.B., Bhīṣma Parva, Chapter 65,

Verses 69 and 70).

(3) Brahmā was born from the abdominal centre of

Aniruddha when the latter had taken the form of Viṣṇu.

(M.B., Śānti Parva, Chapter 341, Verses 15-17).

(4) The word Aniruddha is also used as a synonym of

Viṣṇu. (M.B., Anuśāsana Parva, Chapter 149, Verse

33).

ANIRUDDHA II . The Mahābhārata refers to another

Aniruddha who belonged to the Vṛṣṇi dynasty. Both

the Aniruddhas were present at the wedding of Pāñcālī.

(M.B., Ādi Parva, Chapter 185, Verses 17-20).

ANIRUDDHA III . The Mahābhārata mentions yet

another King Aniruddha. He did not eat flesh. (M.B.,

Anuśāsana Parva, Chapter 115, Verse 15).
