Brahmā said: When the fire of Śambhu's third eye had swiftly reduced Kāma to ashes, it then blazed on all sides, its purpose unfulfilled. Then the Ocean, bowing low to me and praising me duly, spoke to me — the grandfather of all the worlds — with great affection. Brahmā said: Thus addressed by me, the Ocean then firmly consented to receive the submarine fire of Rudra, which could not be (held) by any other.
