Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] When Kāma (God of Love) reached the vicinity of Śiva, Spring spread all his splendour in accord with the inclination of the lord. [...] The lotus flowers (paṅkajapuṣpa) shone in the lakes (saras). The goddess wind endeavoured to fascinate people with her sweet face”.
