ब्रह्मोवाच । कार्तिकेयश्च पार्वत्याः प्राणेभ्यश्चातिवल्लभः । संक्रीडति समीपस्थो नानाचेष्टाभिरुद्यतः

ବ୍ରହ୍ମା କହିଲେ—କାର୍ତ୍ତିକେୟ ପାର୍ବତୀଙ୍କୁ ନିଜ ପ୍ରାଣଠାରୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ପ୍ରିୟ। ସେ ସମୀପରେ ରହି ନାନା ଚେଷ୍ଟାରେ ଉଦ୍ୟତ ହୋଇ କ୍ରୀଡ଼ା କରେ।
Brahmā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Brahmā narrates while nearby Kārttikeya plays close to Pārvatī, animated with many gestures; the scene is domestic-divine, set in a sacred precinct or grove.
The Purāṇas portray divine play (līlā) as sacred, inviting devotion through intimate, affectionate images of the deity.
The larger narrative stream belongs to Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra Māhātmya within Nāgara Khaṇḍa.
None; it is narrative description introducing Kārtikeya’s presence and activity.
