ददौ महेशपुत्राय वासवः परवीरहा । तौ हि शत्रून्महेन्द्रस्य जघ्नतुः समरे बहून्
dadau maheśaputrāya vāsavaḥ paravīrahā | tau hi śatrūnmahendrasya jaghnatuḥ samare bahūn
Vāsava (Indra), pourfendeur des héros ennemis, les donna au fils de Maheśa ; car ces deux-là abattirent au combat nombre d’ennemis de Mahendra.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages
Scene: Indra (Vāsava) presents the two weapon-bearers to Skanda; a backdrop of battle where these two later fell many enemies of Mahendra, highlighting their proven valor.
Divine leadership rewards loyal service—Skanda’s allies are proven protectors of the gods’ righteous cause.
