The lord, the ocean of mercy, glanced compassionately (kṛpādṛṣṭi). Thanks to the nectarine glance of the Trident-bearing lord, Kāma came out of the ashes, a comely wonder-inspiring body with splendid dress and features. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
