ग्रीवाजंघा मेहनैश्च त्रिभिर्ह्रस्वोयमीडितः । स्वरेण सत्त्वनाभिभ्यां त्रिगंभीरः शिशुः शुभः
grīvājaṃghā mehanaiśca tribhirhrasvoyamīḍitaḥ | svareṇa sattvanābhibhyāṃ trigaṃbhīraḥ śiśuḥ śubhaḥ
On le loue pour trois signes courts : le cou, les jambes et l’organe de génération. Et par trois qualités profondes—la voix, la vigueur vitale et le nombril—cet enfant de bon augure est «triple en profondeur».
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa context) narrating to Agastya
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The sage notes three short features (neck, shanks, generative organ) and three deep qualities (voice, vitality, navel) in an auspicious infant; parents listen with reverence near a ghat-side setting.
Puranic dharma links inner strength (voice, vitality) with auspicious destiny, implying that power should mature into righteous conduct.
Kāśī remains the macro-context of the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, but this verse focuses on personal auspicious signs.
None; it is descriptive—classifying bodily features as auspicious according to lakṣaṇa tradition.
