"Markandeya continued, 'The Adbhuta fire, thus transforming himself into a house-hold one, was highly gratified with seeing those gold-complexioned ladies and touching them with his flames. And influenced by their charms he dwelt there for a long time, giving them his heart and filled with an intense love for them.
The blood of Agni is regarded as the source of the Rudras. From his blood sprang also the gold-complexioned deities called the Maitradevatas. From his smoke sprang the Vasus. The first Creator of the universe declared Agni to be Supreme Brahma and Eternal, and the giver of all wishes. This is verily a mystery. I am the Grahapati in it.
I cannot lawfully cast my eyes upon them, nor ever touch them when they are not filled with desire. "Markandeya continued, The Adbhuta fire, thus transforming himself into a house-hold one, was highly gratified with seeing those gold-complexioned ladies and touching them with his flames.
The reading noticed by the commentator is Pitatma, meaning gold-complexioned. The Burdwan translator takes Pritatma as one name. This is not correct. Mahadeva is represented as possessed of five heads, four on four sides and one above. Amritogovrisherwarah is one name. These are names for different portions of time. The Srutis declare that Fire is his head, the Sun and the Moon are his eyes, etc.
