Your statement

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

Fire, my friend, possesses this inherent property that frost can never approach it,

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 

will accomplish my vow

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,
Hearing this, Bhavani smiled and said,

Your vow has failed now, for the great lord Shiva has burnt the god of love,

May Lord bless all,

thanks please

Victory, Victory to Lord

Jai Sri Ram,
The gods thereupon sounded their kettledrums,

May lord bless all,

Thanks please
