śrutveti girijāvācaṃ sānaṃdaḥ pārvatīsutaḥ | sthāpayitvā girisutāṃ kapardinamathābravīt
Als er die Worte Girijās (Pārvatī) vernahm, freute sich der Sohn Pārvatīs. Nachdem er die Tochter des Berges als heilige Gegenwart ordnungsgemäß eingesetzt hatte, wandte er sich darauf an Kapardin (Śiva).
Narrator (Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa tradition) describing Skanda’s action
Scene: Skanda, joyful after hearing Pārvatī’s speech, ritually establishes Girijā’s presence (as an icon/kalasha/yantra) and then turns to address Śiva (Kapardin).
Reverent listening to divine counsel leads to proper स्थापना (sacred establishment) and right action in dharma.
The verse sets the scene for the Kumāreśvara sacred precinct described in this adhyāya (local Sthala Māhātmya within Kaumārikākhaṇḍa).
It implies स्थापना/pratiṣṭhā (ritual establishment) as the foundational act before further worship and boons.
