But that goddess said that her desire was to get Śrī Kṛṣṇa as her husband. She did penance to Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who appeared and said : “Devī! you will take birth as the daughter of King Nagnajit in Varāha Kalpa (a world-age) and then you will become my wife. Now you have to become the wife of Agni under the name Svāhādevī and become the power of digestion, and part of the spell (mantra). You and Agni will be worshipped together by all. From that day onwards Svāhādevī became the wife of Fire. It is mentioned in Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Aṃśa 1, Chapter 10, that three sons Pāvaka; Pavamāna and Śuci, were born to the couple. (See under Devi).
