अंतर्वत्न्यथ कालने तत्पत्नी सुषुवे सुतम् । तस्य नाम पिता चक्रे हरिकेश इति द्विज
aṃtarvatnyatha kālane tatpatnī suṣuve sutam | tasya nāma pitā cakre harikeśa iti dvija
Pagkaraan ng panahon, nang siya’y nagdalang-tao, ang kanyang asawa ay nagsilang ng isang anak na lalaki. At ang ama’y nagbigay ng pangalang Harikeśa, O dalawang-ulit-na-isinilang.
Skanda (narrative voice, addressing a dvija; Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kāśī (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: dvija (addressed as ‘O twice-born’)
Scene: A serene childbirth and naming scene: the mother with the newborn, the father performing a simple naming rite, elders/priests present, auspicious vessels and lamps nearby.
It depicts the fruition of devotion and vow in the form of progeny, reinforcing faith in Śiva’s grace.
The surrounding passage belongs to Kāśī’s Nādeśvara-focused māhātmya, though this verse itself narrates the birth.
No ritual is prescribed here; it records the outcome (birth) and the naming of the child.
