Skanda’s Consecration as Devasenāpati

पुराड्चिरा महाबाहो चचार तप उत्तमम्‌ | आश्रमस्थो महाभागो हव्यवाहं विशेषयन्‌ । तथा स भूत्वा तु तदा जगत्‌ सर्व व्यकाशयत्‌,महाबाहो! प्राचीन कालकी बात है, महाभाग अंगिरा ऋषि अपने आश्रममें ही रहकर उत्तम तपस्या करने लगे। वे अग्निसे भी अधिक तेजस्वी होनेके लिये यत्नशील थे। अपने उद्देश्यमें सफल होकर वे सम्पूर्ण जगतको प्रकाशित करने लगे

purā ciraṃ mahābāho cacāra tapa uttamam | āśramastho mahābhāgo havyavāhaṃ viśeṣayan | tathā sa bhūtvā tu tadā jagat sarvaṃ vyakāśayat ||

Yudhiṣṭhira said: “Long ago, O mighty-armed one, the illustrious sage Aṅgiras, dwelling in his hermitage, undertook an excellent and sustained austerity, striving to surpass even Fire (Agni) in radiance. Having attained that aim, he then shone forth so powerfully that he illuminated the entire world.”
