गरुडो दयितं पुत्रं मयूरं चित्रबर्हिणम् । अरुणस्ताम्रचूडं च प्रददौ चरणायुधम्
garuḍo dayitaṃ putraṃ mayūraṃ citrabarhiṇam | aruṇastāmracūḍaṃ ca pradadau caraṇāyudham
गरुड़ ने अपना प्रिय पुत्र—विचित्र पंखों वाला मयूर—अर्पित किया; और अरुण ने ध्वज पर धारण होने वाला ताम्रचूड़ (कुक्कुट-चिह्न) चरणायुध रूप में प्रदान किया।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) addressing the sages (deduced)
Scene: Garuḍa presents his beloved son, the peacock with jeweled, variegated tail; Aruṇa offers the copper-crested cock emblem to be borne on Skanda’s banner—an investiture of mount and standard.
Divine symbols (vāhana and banner-emblems) express inner virtues—splendor, vigilance, and victorious dharma—made visible for the world’s guidance.
No tīrtha is referenced; the verse explains iconographic gifts associated with Kumāra.
None; it is a narrative of bestowing sacred insignia.
