The demon Shambara received a prophecy that Kamadeva, reborn as Pradyumna, would destroy him. Shambara kidnapped the infant from Krishna's palace and cast him into the sea, but failed to prevent the prophecy's fulfillment.
Pradyumna, the reincarnation of Kamadeva, grew to manhood in Shambara's household and ultimately slew the demon in battle, fulfilling the prophecy that had driven Shambara to kidnap him as an infant.
