The demon on the left is Samvara. He heard a prophecy that Pradyumna, the son of Krishna and Rukmini, would one day murder him. Hearing this, Samvara kidnapped Pradyumna when he was an infant and threw him into the ocean, where he was swallowed by a fish. The fish was caught and brought to Samvara’s kitchen, where Mayavati discovered him still alive in the belly of the fish. She raised him; he slayed the demon and married Mayavati.
