Kāmadeva who saw Śiva who had lost his wife (Satī) shot him with "Unmādāstra" (an arrow causing madness and excitement). Śiva, in his excitement, always thinking about Satī, wandered about, finding peace and rest nowhere. In his excited and restless state he plunged himself into Kālindī river. Just then, the clear water of the river turned black. (Vāmana Purāṇa, Chapter 6). - [Previous: c9.5165](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.5165) - [Next: c9.5167](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.5167) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) ## Cites (1) - [Vāmanapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.vamana.6) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.5166](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.5166) · Pramāṇa
