The miraculous deeds of Kamadeva on three worlds

Lord Kamadeva well understood that creating enmity with Shambhu would bring death to him, but he has given a promise to deities that he cannot overlook. Soon he dominated the entire world with his extreme powers, thus Mathsyakethu broke all the boundaries mentioned in the Veda and conquered all the worlds with his immense power.   Immediately Bhramacharya/celibacy, austerities/Vratha, self-control/Athmaniyanthran, Dheeram/courage, Dharma/righteousness, knowledge of Bhramam/Athmagnana, Vijjyana/knowledge of Saguna and Nirguna Bhrmam, Sadhachara/disciplines, Japa/recitation of scriptures and Vedic hymns, Yoga/physical exercises, Vairagya/sense of abandonment, all started to disappear from the world. The intelligence ran away with its companions, its powerful attendants  found weak to fight against immorality, all the moralities took shelter in the sacred scriptures and hid in the mountain caves, it caused huge chaos in the three worlds, the people cried out “Oh! Bhagavan, what’s going to happen? Who is going to help us? All the Characharas are under the influence of Kamadeva, all those men and women have forgotten their moralities became lustful and completely under the clutches of Kamadeva.” All the creatures on the planet were besieged with Kama.  The branches of big trees attracted towards the creepers and leaned towards them, all the water bodies rushed to meet the ocean, all the ponds and rivers joined together, in this way the non-living behaved in a unique manner, it is needless to talk about living things. The land animals, water animals, flies, etc. became too lustful and rushed to meet their needs. The whole world sunk deep in the passionate sport; eventually, they became blind and restless. The Chakravaha did not look for day and night to mate.  The deities, Asura, Nara, Kinnara, Naga, Bhootha, Pretha, Pishacha,  and vetala became lustful were gone out of control. The Siddhas, liberated souls, great ascetics, Rishis and Yogis refused to follow their disciplines, were under the influence of lust.  It is needless to talk about the ignorant people when the Yogishwaras and ascetics lose their control over celibacy. All those saintly men who were considered the whole world as ‘Supreme Bhramam’ have changed completely and witnessed ‘Sthree’ in everything, and the females were considered all that witnessed as ‘male’ vice versa.

In this way, nearly an hour the entire Bhramanda was under the clutches of Kamadeva, none could control their minds, or remain conscious of their deeds because all were under the control of Kamadeva, only people who were under the protection of Raghuveera remained calm and fought against Kamadeva. This mysterious situation continued for an hour until Kamadeva neared to Shambhu. As soon as he met Shambhu, the entire world came back to normal; he could not stand before Shambhu.  Soon all the creatures in the three worlds regained their consciousness as if they have brought back from the influence of intoxicating drink. Kamadeva frightened at the sight of Lord Rudra who is unconquerable and beyond description, although he wanted to withdraw from the sight of Lord Rudra, he could not because he was fastened by the promise to deities remembered the king of Rithu/Vasantha Rithu before his death in hands of Rudra.
