In my childhood I have read the story of the Shadpuras (6 Cities) created by the Asura Nikumbha (?)

into which not even an insect can enter without the knowledge of Nikumbha (can't remember whether

that is indeed the name).Krishna's sons Pradyumna and Gada got in thru maya (that Pradyumna learnt

from his wife Mayawati) and marries the daughters of the asura princes. Finally the asuras get killed

and Shad puras burnt.

 

I can't find this story in the Bhagavatha or Vishnu purana. I don't have access to Brahma Vaivartha

so didn't check it. Can anyone tell me in which purana does this story find a reference?
