Chapter 84: Brahmā’s Counsel on Tāraka, the Search for Agni, and the Genesis of Skanda
Kārttikeya
पराभवाच्च दैत्यानां देवैः शौचमिदं कृतम् । ते देवत्वमपि प्राप्ता: संसिद्धाक्ष महाबला:,जब दैत्योंने देवताओंको पराजित कर दिया, तब देवताओंने इसी प्रायश्चित्तका अनुष्ठान किया। इससे उन्हें पुनः (नष्ट हुए) देवत्वकी प्राप्ति हुई तथा वे महाबलवान् और परम सिद्ध हो गये
When the Daityas had brought defeat upon the gods, the Devas performed this very rite of purity and expiation. By its power they regained their lost divinity, becoming mighty and perfectly accomplished in spiritual attainment.
