Krishna and Rukmini had a good time henceforth and Rukmini gave birth to Pradyumna in due course; But the child Pradyumna was kidnapped on the sixth day of his birth by Shambharasura. Having realized that boy was Krishna’s son, he threw the child in the Sea and a fat fish ate up the child. A fisherman netted the fish and gifted it to Shambharasura.
The Asura sent the fishes to the Kitchen where a house maid called Mayavati who cut the fat fish found to her great surprise a cute child and wondered as to a child got into the fish!
Narada Maharshi appeared before Mayavati and told her that the boy is Paramatma son of Shri Krishna and Devi Rukmini.
