FAQs

It refers to the Kāma-dahana myth: Śiva burns the love-god Kāma with his third eye, rendering him ‘anaṅga’ (bodiless). The phrase is a compact allusion that also explains Kāma’s epithet Anaṅga in later tradition.

Both belong to the Dakṣa-yajña cycle: Śiva disrupts Dakṣa’s sacrifice (kratu-kṣaya), Dakṣa is ruined, and Bhaga (an Āditya participating in the rite) is punished—here remembered as losing his eyes. The verse uses these as credentials of Śiva’s irresistible authority over ritual arrogance.

Not directly in this verse. The events (Kāma-dahana, Dakṣa-yajña) have rich geographic traditions in other texts, but since no place-name is stated here, a strict Vāmana Purāṇa gazetteer would record them as ‘event-references without explicit toponyms’ unless adjacent verses supply locations.
