Your statement

Jai Sri Ram,
Your statement that Hara has burnt the god of love betrays woeful lack of thought in you,

In case it does it must inevitably perish,

Similar is the case with the god of love and the great lord Shiva,

May Lord bless all,

thanks please

Jai Sri Ram,
To my mind, however, Shiva is eternally in rapport with the infinite, unbegotten, irreproachable, passionless and without enjoyment,

Knowing him as such_

If i have served him lovingly in thought, word and deed,

Then hear, O great Sages, the gracious lord will accomplish my vow,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

smitten with love

Jai Sri Ram,
