Skanda’s Consecration as Devasenāpati

Devanagari script

तपश्चरंस्तु हुतभुक्‌ संतप्तस्तस्य तेजसा । भृशं ग्लानश्न तेजस्वी न च किंचित्‌ प्रजज्ञिवान्‌,उन्हीं दिनों अग्निदेव भी तपस्या कर रहे थे। वे तेजस्वी होकर भी अंगिराके तेजसे संतप्त हो अत्यन्त मलिन पड़ गये। परंतु इसका कारण क्या है? यह कुछ भी उनकी समझमें नहीं आया

Translation

Naqueles dias, o deus do Fogo, Hutabhuk, também praticava austeridades. Embora refulgente em tejas, foi abrasado pelo tejas de Aṅgirā, ficando profundamente abatido e esmaecido; contudo, não conseguiu compreender de modo algum a causa.
