Kārttikeya-Abhiṣecana: Mātṛgaṇa-Nāma Saṃkīrtana and Skanda’s Commission
सुदर्शनीयौ वरदौ त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्लुतौ । भगवान् मित्रने महात्मा कुमारको सुव्रत और सत्यसंध नामक दो सेवक प्रदान किये। वे दोनों ही तप और विद्या धारण करनेवाले तथा महामनस्वी थे। इतना ही नहीं
sudarśanīyau varadau triṣu lokeṣu viślutau | bhagavān mitrane mahātmā kumārako suvrataḥ satyasaṃdha-nāmakaṃ ca dvau sevakau pradadau | tau ubhau tapo-vidyā-dhāriṇau mahāmanasvī ca | na kevalaṃ darśane paramasundarau, vara-pradāne samarthau, triṣu lokeṣu ca vikhyātau |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。尊ぶべき主、偉大なる魂の持ち主は、ミトラに二人の従者を授けた。名をクマーラカとスヴラタといい、いずれも真実に堅く立つ者であった。彼らは戒めの誓いを守り、タパス（苦行）と学知を身に帯び、心は高邁であった。見目麗しいのみならず、恩寵を授ける力を備え、三界に名を馳せていた。

Educational Q&A
The verse elevates ideal service: attendants worthy of trust are characterized by truthfulness (satyasaṃdha), disciplined vows (suvrata), austerity (tapas), and learning (vidyā). Outer excellence (beauty, fame, capability) is presented as secondary to inner ethical formation.
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that a revered, great-souled figure grants Mitra two attendants—Kumāraka and Suvrata—describing their virtues and renown, thereby establishing their credibility and the auspiciousness of the gift.
