द्वादशो भूर्भुवो भावी भुवः पुत्रो नमस्कृतः । नागराजः सुधर्मात्मा नाकपृष्ठः सनातनः
dvādaśo bhūrbhuvo bhāvī bhuvaḥ putro namaskṛtaḥ | nāgarājaḥ sudharmātmā nākapṛṣṭhaḥ sanātanaḥ
Tú eres el Ser de doce aspectos; tú eres Bhūr y Bhuvaḥ; tú eres el que ha de llegar a ser. Eres el hijo de Bhuvaḥ, digno de reverentes salutaciones. Eres el rey de los nāgas, cuya naturaleza es el recto dharma; estás asentado en las alturas del cielo, el Eterno.
Viśvāmitra
Scene: Skanda is praised as cosmic—standing upon a stylized three-tiered cosmos (earth, mid-region, heaven), with nāga-king symbolism and a celestial terrace (nākapṛṣṭha) behind him.
The hymn expands Skanda from a martial deity into a cosmic principle spanning worlds and time, grounding devotion in universal dharma.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse is cosmological praise.
None directly; it continues the aṣṭottaraśata-nāma for recitation.
