40. Thereafter, O son of Pandu, Kama was reduced to ash by the fire emanating from the third eye even as the heaven- dwellers were lamenting.
41. After reducing him to ash, the fire that arose from the eyes of Hara increased in size in order to bum the entire universe. It filled the faces of all cardinal points with its flames.
42-43. Thereafter, for the sake of the people of the universe Bhava divided that fire of Smara among
- proud people,
- moon,
- flowers,
- songs,
- bees,
- beaks of the cuckoo and
- sporting grounds.
