Mune, Lord Shambhu crushed the pride of Kamadeva, after the grave incident the Yogis, Muniganas, Rishis got freed from the clutches of Kamadeva were extremely happy, and Devi Rati who has witnessed the miserable fate of Lord Kamadeva fallen unconscious. Devi Rati could not control her grief, became inconsolable wept bitterly, and approached Lord Shankara, she stood before the Lord with folded hands. Lord Shambhu who is the ocean of mercy, watching the dejected state of Devi Rathi pronounced in a soft voice “Oh! Devi, henceforth, your consort Lord Kamadeva would be remembered as Ananga/bodiless, he would be continued on the Earth without specific form and in due course of time, you will regain him as your consort. Oh! Devi, Lord Hari would incarnate as Lord Krishna in the Dwaparayuga to reinstate the righteousness and reduce the burden of the Earth. At that time, your husband Kamadeva would be born as the eldest son Pradhyumna of Lord Krishna and Devi Rukmini, and he will find a way to unite with you once again, remember my predictions won’t go untrue.” Thus, Devi Rati was pacified by Shankara and left the abode. Oh! Mune, I shall describe the latter part of the legend, listen to me carefully. All the deities along with Lord Virinchi approached Lord Vishnu in Vaikunda, further, they have taken a tour to Mount Kailash to meet the supreme Lord Shiva. All the deities assembled before Lord Shambhu who is adorned in the crescent moon on the reddish-brown matted hair locks and eulogized the might of Lord Shiva. The benevolent Lord Shambhu greeted them pleasantly and spoke “Oh! Deities, kindly reveal the purpose of your visit.” Lord Bhrama replied “Oh! Prabho, you are that all-pervasive supreme Bhramam, you are the knower of all, resides as a soul in the Jeeva, which is the source of the functioning of the mind, intellect, Prana, Karma and Gnanendhriyas, Ahamkara, Mamakara etc. although I would like to bring some matters before you that require your immediate attention.”
