毗湿摩波耶那说道：“噢，大王，在达那婆之中，有一位名为‘库克希’（Kukṣi）的统治者，声名远播，力大无穷。后来他又以‘帕尔瓦提耶’（Pārvatīya）之名著称，巍然高耸、光辉灿然，如同金色神山。”

The verse highlights how extraordinary strength and renown shape legacy: a powerful figure becomes remembered by an epithet (Pārvatīya) that captures his imposing, mountain-like stature—suggesting that deeds and qualities crystallize into enduring identity.
Vaiśampāyana continues a genealogical/mythic account, describing a famed Danava ruler named Kukṣi who came to be known as Pārvatīya, compared in grandeur to a golden mountain.
