Transliteration
Bṛhaspatir mantraviddhi jajāpa ca juhāva ca | evaṁ Skandasya mahiṣīṁ Devasenāṁ vidur janāḥ ||
Translation
Mārkaṇḍeya said: Bṛhaspati, the knower of sacred mantras, performed mantra-recitation and offered oblations into the fire. Thus people came to recognize that Devasenā was the consecrated chief queen of Skanda (Kārttikeya). The episode underscores how Vedic rite and public acknowledgment together confer legitimacy and uphold social-religious order.
