Page "Lalita sahasranama" Paragraph 8

The devas faced a very great enemy in Sura Padma / Banda who had a boon that he could be killed only by a son of Shiva and Parvati.

So to wake Shiva from his deep meditation the devas deputed Manmatha, the God of love who shot his flower arrows at Paramashiva.

Paramashiva woke up and opened his third eye and burnt the God of love into ashes.

The Devas and Rathi Devi the wife of Manmatha requested Paramashiva to give life to Manmatha.

Heeding for their request Paramashiva stared at the ashes of Manmatha. From the ashes came Bhandasura Who made all the world as impotent and ruled from the city called Shonitha pura. He started troubling the devas. The devas then sought the advice of Sage Narada who advised them to conduct a fire sacrifice.

From the fire rose Sri Lalitha Tripura Sundari.
