नक्षत्रेषु श्राद्धफलविधानम् (Śrāddha Outcomes According to Nakṣatras)
देवताओंने गुहावासी कुमारकी पूजा करके उनका सेनापतिके पदपर अभिषेक किया और तारकासुरने देवताओंपर जो अत्याचार किया था, सो कह सुनाया ।।
sa vivṛddho mahāvīryo devasenāpatiḥ prabhuḥ | jaghānāmoghayā śaktyā dānavaṁ tārakaṁ guhaḥ ||
诸天礼敬居于洞窟的童子库玛罗,为他行灌顶之礼,立他为天军统帅,并将阿修罗塔罗迦曾加诸诸天的暴虐一一陈说。及其威力与英勇臻于圆满,古诃——大雄、主宰、天军统帅——以无失之神力诛灭达那婆塔罗迦。

Legitimate authority and consecrated leadership, aligned with dharma, are portrayed as necessary to restrain tyranny; when power is rightly vested in the worthy, oppressive forces are overcome and order is re-established.
After being honored and installed as the gods’ commander, Guha (Skanda) attains full prowess and then destroys the demon Tāraka using an unfailing divine power/weapon, ending the demon’s oppression of the gods.
