सुतो मलयकेतोस्तां कालेन परिणीतवान् । माल्यकेतुरनंगश्रीः पित्रा दत्तां कलावतीम्
suto malayaketostāṃ kālena pariṇītavān | mālyaketuranaṃgaśrīḥ pitrā dattāṃ kalāvatīm
وقت گزرنے پر ملایکیتو کے بیٹے—مالیکیتو، جو اننگ (کام دیو) کی شان سے درخشاں تھا—نے اُس کلاوتی سے بیاہ کیا جسے باپ نے اسے سونپا تھا۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly framed as Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Scene: A royal wedding: Mālyaketu, youthful and radiant, receives Kalāvatī given by Malayaketu; garlands, sacred fire, and courtly splendor frame the union.
Karmic threads continue through time, shaping relationships and social duties; marriage here is shown as part of worldly dharma within saṃsāra.
No specific tīrtha is referenced in this verse; it continues the narrative within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s broader Kāśī frame.
None; it describes a marriage arrangement.
