what did the royal infant grow up to be

The “royal infant” you’re asking about grows up to be the king of Pratibandapuram, famously known as “The Tiger King.”

In the NCERT/CBSE English story “The Tiger King” (by Kalki), the baby prince who is introduced as a royal infant later becomes the Maharaja of Pratibandapuram, an autocratic ruler obsessed with killing one hundred tigers to prove a prediction about his death wrong.
