अंतर्वत्न्यथ कालने तत्पत्नी सुषुवे सुतम् । तस्य नाम पिता चक्रे हरिकेश इति द्विज
aṃtarvatnyatha kālane tatpatnī suṣuve sutam | tasya nāma pitā cakre harikeśa iti dvija
Zu gegebener Zeit, als sie schwanger war, gebar seine Gattin einen Sohn. Da gab der Vater ihm den Namen Harikeśa, o Zweimalgeborener.
Skanda (narrative voice, addressing a dvija; Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
It depicts the fruition of devotion and vow in the form of progeny, reinforcing faith in Śiva’s grace.
The surrounding passage belongs to Kāśī’s Nādeśvara-focused māhātmya, though this verse itself narrates the birth.
No ritual is prescribed here; it records the outcome (birth) and the naming of the child.
