ity uktva deva-gandharva
 siddha-carana-pannagan
daitya-vidyadharan yaksan
 manujams ca yathalikhat

SB 10.62.18-19
manujesu ca sa vrsnin
 suram anakadundubhim
vyalikhad rama-krsnau ca
 pradyumnam viksya lajjita
aniruddham vilikhitam
 viksyosavan-mukhi hriya
so ’sav asav iti praha
 smayamana mahi-pate


Translation:
O King, among the humans, Citralekha drew pictures of the Vrsnis, including Surasena, Anakadundubhi, Balarama and Krsna. When Usa saw the picture of Pradyumna she became bashful, and when she saw Aniruddha’s picture she bent her head down in embarrassment. Smiling, she exclaimed, “He’s the one! It’s Him!”

Purport:
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti gives this further insight: When Usa saw the picture of Pradyumna, she became bashful because she thought, “This is my father-in-law.” Then she saw the picture of her lover, Aniruddha, and cried out in joy.
