Purandara

Markandeya begins to describe the sacred fires — their origins, their names, and the rites that correct them when they are defiled. What follows is a genealogy of fire itself, from the primal austerity of Tapas through the sons of Bhanu and Manu, down to the fires that dwell in breath, in anger, and in the bodies of all living beings.

Kunti, a young princess, tests the mantra given to her by the sage Durvasa — summoning the sun god Surya into her presence. But when Surya appears and demands union, she tries to send him away. He refuses to leave in vain, threatening to curse both Durvasa and her father if she does not give herself to him.
