आग्नेय: कृत्तिकापुत्रो रौद्रो गाज़ेय इत्यपि | श्रूयते भगवान् देव: सर्वगुह्ममयों गुहः,“सुना जाता है, सर्वगुह्म॒स्वरूप भगवान् स्कन्ददेव अग्नि, कृत्तिका, रुद्र तथा गंगा--इन सबके पुत्र हैं
āgneyaḥ kṛttikāputro raudro gāṅgeya ity api | śrūyate bhagavān devaḥ sarvaguhyamayo guhaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: Đức Thánh Guha (Skanda) cũng được truyền tụng là con của Agni, là con của các Kṛttikā, là hậu duệ của Rudra, và là con của sông Gaṅgā.

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes Skanda’s transcendent status: he is described through multiple divine parentages (Agni, the Kṛttikās, Rudra, and Gaṅgā), indicating that his origin cannot be confined to a single lineage and that he embodies profound sacred mysteries (sarvaguhyamaya).
Vaiśampāyana reports the traditional epithets and origin-accounts of Guha/Skanda, listing how different sacred traditions describe him as the son of various divine figures, thereby situating Skanda within a broader mythic and theological framework.
