The gods then prayed with great devotion and the god of love, armed with five* arrows
and having a fish emblazoned on his standard, appeared on the scene. (1ó4)

The gods told him all their distress; hearing their tale, the god of love pondered
and spoke thus with a smile, ìI expect no good results for myself from hostility to
›ambhu.î (83)

ìHowever, I shall do your work; for the Vedas say benevolence is the highest
virtue. The saints ever praise him who lays down his life in the service of others.î So
saying, the god of love bowed his head to all and departed with his associates, the bow
of flowers in hand. While leaving, Love thought within himself that hostility to ›iva would
mean sure death to him. He then exhibited his power and brought the whole world under
his sway. When the god of love (who bears a fish for his emblem) betrayed his anger,
all the barriers imposed by the Vedas were swept away in a moment. The whole army
of Viveka (discriminating knowledge)ócontinence, religious vows, self-restraint of many
kinds, fortitude, piety, spiritual wisdom and the knowledge of qualified divinity both with
form and without form, morality, muttering of prayers, Yoga (contemplative union with
God), dispassion and so on, fled in panic. (1ó4)

* The white lotus, the A‹oka flower, the mango blossom, the jasmine and the blue lotusóthese are the
