जगुर्गंधर्वपतयो ननृतुश्चाप्सरोगणाः । ततः स्कंदः प्रीतियुक्तः स्नात्वा सरसि शोभने
jagurgaṃdharvapatayo nanṛtuścāpsarogaṇāḥ | tataḥ skaṃdaḥ prītiyuktaḥ snātvā sarasi śobhane
گندھروؤں کے سرداروں نے گیت گائے اور اپسراؤں کے جُھنڈ نے رقص کیا۔ پھر اسکند خوشی سے بھر کر اُس دلکش سرور میں اتر کر نہایا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
When sacred rites are completed, the tīrtha becomes a living field of joy—where devotion expresses itself as purity (snāna) and celebration.
The ‘beautiful lake’ established for Skanda in this adhyāya is highlighted as the bathing place.
