มารกัณฑेयกล่าวว่า “เราจักสรรเสริญ ‘คุหะ’ ผู้หาประมาณมิได้ ผู้ซึ่งฤทธานุภาพเป็นที่นอบน้อมของเหล่าเทพและฤๅษี โดยอัญเชิญพระองค์ด้วยพระนามอันศักดิ์สิทธิ์ พระองค์ทรงมีหกพักตร์ ทรงถือศัสตรา ‘ศักติ’ และทรงเป็นวีรบุรุษผู้กล้าหาญยิ่ง โอ้ยอดแห่งวงศ์กุรุ จงตั้งใจฟังเถิด”

Educational Q&A

The verse emphasizes devotional praise (stuti) through sacred names: the divine is described as immeasurable, yet approachable through reverent invocation, and such praise is presented as a worthy act endorsed by gods and seers.

Mārkaṇḍeya announces that he will recite a hymn praising Guha (Skanda/Kārttikeya), characterized as six-faced and spear-bearing, and he urges the Kuru hero to listen carefully to the forthcoming names and praises.
