Dvaītavana Lake: Obstructed Entry
शिवाश्रैवाशिवाश्वैव पुन: पुनरुदारधी: । ततः संकल्प्य पुत्रत्वे स्कन्दं मातृगणो5गमत्,तब उदारबुद्धि स्कन्दने बार-बार कहा--“बहुत अच्छा, तुम सब लोग पृथक्-पृथक् पूजनीया माता मानी जाओगी। तुम्हारे दो भेद होंगे--शिवा और अशिवा।' तदनन्तर स्कन्दको अपना पुत्र मानकर मातृकाएँ वहाँसे विदा हो गयीं
śivāś caivāśivāś caiva punaḥ punar udāradhīḥ | tataḥ saṅkalpya putratve skandaṃ mātṛgaṇo 'gamat ||
マールカンデーヤは語った。寛大な知恵をもってスカンダは繰り返し宣言した。「汝らは母として崇められる。各々が自らの権威において――二種に分かれる。吉祥（Śivā）と不吉（Aśivā）である。」かくしてスカンダを子として受け入れることを定めると、母神の群れはその地を去った。

Educational Q&A
Powerful forces—whether beneficent or fearsome—are brought into dharmic order through clear recognition and rightful reverence. By naming the Mothers as Śivā and Aśivā and granting them honored status, the narrative suggests that ethical stability comes from integrating and regulating energies rather than denying them.
Skanda repeatedly addresses the host of Mother-goddesses, affirming that they will be worshipped as mothers in two categories, auspicious and inauspicious. After this declaration, the Mothers resolve to regard Skanda as their son and then depart.
