The Agnishvattas (“UG-nee-SHVAH-tuhs”) are born from Brahma’s sweat after this god distresses the maiden Sandhya soon after his birth from Brahma’s mind. It’s not Krishna, but most depictions of the self-decapitated goddess Chhinnamasta show her standing on this god as he couples with his wife. This god is reborn as the bodiless Ananga after he disrupts the meditation of another deity using blooming flowers, a gentle breeze, and buzzing bees as part of a plan to defeat the asura, Taraka. A treatise by Vatsyayana named for this god advises that men should acquire dharma in their old age, and attend to both artha and the treatise’s titular concept in their youth. A parrot serves as the mount of this god, who is incinerated by the third eye of Shiva after he fires his sugarcane bow. For 10 points, what Hindu god of love lends his name to an erotic Sanskrit sutra? ■END■
