abhyarcya gaṃdhamālyādyairdvādaśāpi kumārikāḥ | evaṃ saṃpūrṇatāṃ yāti vratametatsunirmalam
ក្រោយពីគោរពបូជាកុមារីទាំងដប់ពីរដោយក្លិនក្រអូប កម្រងផ្កា និងគ្រឿងបូជាផ្សេងៗ តាមពិធី នោះវ្រតដ៏បរិសុទ្ធនេះ ក៏ឈានដល់ភាពពេញលេញ។
Skanda (deduced, Kāśīkhaṇḍa context) to Agastya
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (vrata completion rite)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and sages (frame implied)
Scene: A row of twelve kumārikās seated on clean mats; the devotee offers sandal paste, perfumes, garlands, and respectful salutations; the setting suggests a Kāśī courtyard with temple spires beyond.
Purity of vow is affirmed by reverence to sacred innocence and the divine feminine, expressed through respectful worship and offerings.
The larger narrative domain is Kāśī; this verse focuses on kumārī-honouring as a completion rite rather than a site-glorification.
Honour twelve maidens with fragrance, garlands, and similar offerings to complete the vow.
