Umā’s Austerity, Kauśikī’s Manifestation, and Skanda’s Birth Leading to Tāraka’s Defeat
इत्युक्त्वा मंदिरात्तस्मान्निर्जगाम हिमाद्रिजा । तस्यां व्रजंत्यां देवेश्यां गणैः किलकिलाकृता
ityuktvā maṃdirāttasmānnirjagāma himādrijā | tasyāṃ vrajaṃtyāṃ deveśyāṃ gaṇaiḥ kilakilākṛtā
ครั้นกล่าวดังนี้แล้ว หิมาทริชา (ปารวตี) ธิดาแห่งหิมาลัย ก็ออกจากเทวสถานนั้นไป เมื่อพระเทวีผู้เป็นนายเหนือเทพเสด็จดำเนิน เหล่าคณะคณะ (คณะคณา) ก็เปล่งเสียงโห่ร้องกึกก้องด้วยความยินดี
Narrator (contextual; verse describes Pārvatī’s action rather than direct speech)
Concept: Divine agency moves decisively when dharma is threatened; the goddess’s departure marks a moral turning point—grace can withdraw when compassion is violated.
Application: When a situation becomes spiritually corrosive, step away with clarity rather than prolonging conflict; choose environments that support sattva.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: इत्युक्त्वा = इति + उक्त्वा. मंदिरात्तस्मान्निर्जगाम = मन्दिरात् + तस्मात् + निर्जगाम. तस्यां व्रजंत्यां = तस्याम् + व्रजन्त्याम् (locative absolute).
FAQs
After speaking (in the prior context), Pārvatī leaves the temple, and Śiva’s attendants (gaṇas) accompany the moment with loud celebratory or tumultuous cries.
The gaṇas are Śiva’s retinue—attendant beings who serve him and often appear in Purāṇic narratives as a divine entourage.
The verse conveys reverence and sacred atmosphere: a divine figure’s movement is treated as significant, marked by the presence and acclamation of her celestial attendants.
