LifeNiti Adaval mentions about Udayana and his love for music, art and fondness of women.{{sfn|Cort|2010|p=192}} Due to a dohada ("pregnancy craving"), Mṛgāvatī, pregnant with Udayana, is either covered or immersed in red. A monstrous bird mistakes her for raw meat and carries her away, later dropping her. She is cared for in a hermitage, where she raises her son.[1] Udayana obtains a wonderful lute, elephant taming skills, and confidants; he and his mother eventually return to their home, Kauśāmbī.[2] Udayana is later captured by Pradyota, the King of Ujjayinī. Here, he teaches the lute to Pradyota's daughter, Vāsavadattā, and they fall in love.[3] Eventually they escape to Kauśāmbī, where Udayana's rightful kingship is restored, and they are married.[4] But fearing Udayana is getting soft, and desiring an additional political alliance, Udayana's ministers make him believe that Vāsavadattā is dead, and effect his marriage to Ratnavali.[5] Though he is later reunited with Vāsavadattā, Udayana remains childless. Later, as a boon of Kubera, Vāsavadattā becomes pregnant with Naravāhanadatta (his name means "given by Kubera"[6]), who is fated to become the emperor of the Vidyādharas.{{cn|date=November 2016}} Udayana, the son of {{IAST|Śatānīka}} II by the Videha princess succeeded him.
