Saying this, she drew gods and gandharvas, siddhas, caranas and serpents, Daityas, vidyadharas and yaksas, and men, each one as he is. And among the men she drew the Vrsnis: Sura, and Anakadundubhi, and Rama and Krsna. When she saw Pradyumna, Usa was abashed. Seeing Aniruddha drawn there, Usa let her face fall for shame and said, smiling, That is he, that is he, lord of the earth. Citralekha knew him for Krsna's grandson. Being a yogini she went through the air, king, to Dvaraka, the city Krsna keeps. There she took Pradyumna's son as he slept on a fine couch, and holding to her yoga she carried him to the city of Sonita and showed her friend her beloved.

And she, seeing that best of handsome men, her face bright with joy, took her pleasure with Pradyumna's son in her own rooms, where no man could look in.
