वज्रांगः कोप्यसौ दैत्यः किंप्रभावश्च तारकः । कथं स निहतश्चैव जातश्चैव कथं गुहः
vajrāṃgaḥ kopyasau daityaḥ kiṃprabhāvaśca tārakaḥ | kathaṃ sa nihataścaiva jātaścaiva kathaṃ guhaḥ
វជ្រាង្គៈ អសុរនោះជានរណា? តារកៈមានអំណាចអ្វី? គាត់ត្រូវបានសម្លាប់ដូចម្តេច ហើយគុហៈ (កុមារ) កើតឡើងដូចម្តេច?
Arjuna
Listener: Pārtha (addressed as Phālguna/Arjuna in the surrounding dialogue frame)
Scene: A questioning scene: a royal/heroic listener asks about demons Vajrāṅga and Tāraka, their powers, their defeat, and the birth of Guha; sages in an āśrama setting, palm-leaf manuscripts, a subtle aura hinting at Skanda’s future emergence.
The purāṇas connect sacred place-glory with divine history; understanding the demon’s boon and downfall highlights dharma’s victory.
Not specified in this verse; it sets up the Kumāreśvara-related māhātmya that links the narrative to a sacred locale.
None explicitly; it is an inquiry preparing for the māhātmya and its worship instructions.
