Suvarṇa-dāna: Kārttikeya’s Origin and the Defeat of Tāraka (सुवर्णदान-प्रसङ्गे कार्त्तिकेय-उत्पत्ति तथा तारकवधः)

आजहुर्ऋतवश्चापि सुगन्धीनि पृथक्‌ पृथक्‌ । तस्मिन्‌ देवसमावाये सर्वभूतसमागमे

ājahuḥ ṛtavaś cāpi sugandhīni pṛthak pṛthak | tasmin deva-samāvāye sarva-bhūta-samāgame, kuntī-nandana |

Bhīṣma nói: “Ngay cả các mùa, mỗi mùa theo cách riêng của mình, cũng dâng những lễ vật thơm ngát. Trong đại hội của chư thiên—nơi muôn loài đều tụ hội, hỡi con của Kuntī—(cuộc hội họp thiên giới ấy tràn đầy cúng phẩm cát tường và sự hiện diện cung kính).”
