स्कंदप्रसादजः पुत्रो लोहिताक्षो भयंकरः । एष वीराष्टकः प्रोक्तः स्कंदमातृगणोऽद्भुतः
skaṃdaprasādajaḥ putro lohitākṣo bhayaṃkaraḥ | eṣa vīrāṣṭakaḥ proktaḥ skaṃdamātṛgaṇo'dbhutaḥ
Aus Skandas Gnade wurde ein Sohn geboren—Lohitākṣa, furchterregend von Gestalt. Dies wird als das «Achtfach der Helden» verkündet, die wundersame Schar der Mütter Skandas.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages
Skanda’s grace reorders and appoints even fearsome energies into a structured, protective cosmic function.
No location is named; the verse defines a divine group associated with Skanda.
No direct prescription; it sets up the basis for worship of these beings in a protective context.
