कार्त्तिकेयाभिषेकः — Consecration of Kārttikeya and the Enumeration of His Retinue
स तत्र ववृधे लोकानावृत्य ज्वलनात्मज: । ददृशुर्ज्वलनाकाररं तं गर्भमथ कृत्तिका:
sa tatra vavṛdhe lokānāvṛtya jvalanātmajaḥ | dadṛśur jvalanākāraṃ taṃ garbham atha kṛttikāḥ ||
അവിടെ ജ്വലനപുത്രൻ വളർന്നു, തന്റെ ദീപ്തിയാൽ ലോകങ്ങളെ ആവൃതമാക്കി. അപ്പോൾ കൃത്തികകൾ ആ ഗർഭത്തെ അഗ്നിയുടെ തന്നെ രൂപത്തിൽ ജ്വലിക്കുന്നതായി കണ്ടു.

Extraordinary power (tejas) is not merely to be feared or admired; it calls for reverence, restraint, and responsible guardianship. The scene frames divine energy as something that can pervade the worlds and therefore must be approached with care and dharmic protection.
A being described as the son of Fire grows so intensely radiant that he seems to envelop the worlds. The Kṛttikās then behold the embryo, appearing like fire itself—signaling a supernatural birth and the emergence of a formidable divine presence.
