Kuru Lineage Inquiry and the Portrait of King Duḥṣanta’s Rule
भगवांक्षापि देवेशो यत्र देवी च कीर्त्यते | अनेकजननो यत्र कार्तिकेयस्य सम्भव:,देवेश्वर भगवान् शिव और देवी पार्वतीका भी इसमें वर्णन है तथा अनेक माताओंसे उत्पन्न होनेवाले कार्तिकेय-जीके जन्मका प्रसंग भी इसमें कहा गया है
bhagavāṁś cāpi deveśo yatra devī ca kīrtyate | anekajananō yatra kārtikeyasya sambhavaḥ ||
وفيه أيضًا يُشاد بالربّ المبارك، سيّد الآلهة—شِيفا—وبالإلهة بارفَتي؛ وفيه كذلك تُروى حادثة مولد كارتّيكيا، الذي يُقال إنّه أُخرج إلى الوجود عبر أمهاتٍ كثيرات. وتشير هذه الآية إلى سعة هذا الملحم واحتوائه: فهو يكرّم الأصول الإلهية والحكايات المقدّسة التي تُرسّخ ما يأتي بعدها في نظام الكون وروح التبجيل.

The verse underscores reverent remembrance (kīrtana) of divine figures and origins: sacred histories of Śiva, Pārvatī, and Kārtikeya are presented as worthy of praise and as part of the epic’s moral-cosmic framework, reminding listeners that human events unfold within a larger divine order.
Vaiśampāyana is describing the contents of the account being narrated: it includes praise/mention of Śiva and the Goddess, and it also contains the episode of Kārtikeya’s birth—characterized here as involving ‘many mothers’—signposting a well-known mythic section embedded within the broader Adi Parva narration.
