Bhasmakṛta (भस्मकृत) refers to “one who was made into ashes”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.23 (“Attempt of Himavat to dissuade Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to the Gods and others: “[...] After praising the penance of Pārvatī whose body was achievement personified, the gods went to the place where the bull-bannered lord was present. After reaching there the gods sent you in, O sage, and stood at a distance from Śiva who had reduced Kāma to ashes [i.e., bhasmakṛta]. They were watching. O Nārada, you the fearless devotee of Śiva approached Śiva and saw the lord extremely pleased. [...]”.
