Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Dhūmākula (धूमाकुल) refers to one “afflicted by smoke”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.19. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] I put many wet twigs into the fire. Only very little ghee did I pour into the fire. Much smoke arose out of the fire from the wet twigs, so much so that darkness enveloped the whole altar ground (and the neighbourhood). Then lord Śiva, the supreme God, indulged in many sports, covered his eyes (apparently) afflicted by smoke [viz., dhūmākula]”.
