Vasantasahita (वसन्तसहित) refers to “(being) accompanied by Spring”, according to the Kulakaulinīmata.—Accordingly, “The goddess in the middle is (red) like vermillion and the Javā and Bandhūka flower. She is charming and beautiful. Auspicious, she holds a flower bow and arrows, noose and goad. Her topknot is red and she holds a bowl and a citron. She is joyful with the bliss of wine. She wears red clothes and has long red eyes. (Her) lips are (like) a flaming red lotus and she shines with red flowers. She is the mother (who makes people) passionate with attachment and she colours this universe (with desire). Kāma, along with spring (vasantasahita), resides in the Nanda forest. The (spring) breezes are close to him, in front and behind”.
