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] .

अनिरुद्ध [aniruddha] a.  a. Unobstructed, free, uncontrolled, self-willed, unruly, ungovernable.
द्धः A spy, secret emissary.
 N. N. of a son of Pradyumna. [Aniruddha was the son of Kāma and grandson of Kṛiṣṇa. Uṣā, the daughter of a demon named Bāṇa, fell in love with him and had him brought by magic influence to her apartments in her father's city of Śoṇitapura. Bāṇa sent some guards to seize him, but the brave youth slew his assailants with only an iron club. At last, however, he was secured by means of magic powers. On discovering where Aniruddha had been carried, Kṛiṣṇa, Balarāma and Kāma went to rescue him and a great battle was fought. Bāṇa, though aided by Śiva and Skanda, was vanquished, but his life was spared at the intercession of Śiva, and Aniruddha was carried home to Dvārakā with Uṣā as his wife. He had also another wife Rochanā, grand-daughter of king Rukmin of Vidarbha, who bore him a son named Vajra.].
