ثم إن الآلهةَ حَمَلَةَ السلاح ابتهجوا، فأمروا الآلاتِ الموسيقية أن تُدوّي. ومن ضربةِ الفَجْرَا (الڤَجْرَا/الڤَجْرَا: الفَجْرَا، أي الڤَجْرَا «vajra») وُلدت أيضًا منه فتياتٌ عظيماتُ القوّة.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages
Scene: Devas, radiant and weapon-bearing, rejoice as celestial instruments thunder; from Indra’s vajra-strike arises a sudden emergence of powerful maidens—an uncanny, martial birth-scene around Skanda’s sphere.
