सुवर्णष्ठीविनोपाख्यानम्
The Account of Suvarṇaṣṭhīvin
ख्यात: सुवर्णष्ठीवीति पुत्रस्तव भविष्यति । रक्ष्यश्ष देवराजात् स देवराजसमद्युति:
khyātaḥ suvarṇaṣṭhīvīti putras tava bhaviṣyati | rakṣyaś ca devarājāt sa devarājasamadyutiḥ ||
帕尔瓦塔说道：“你的儿子将诞生，并以‘苏伐尔那什提维因’之名闻名于世。他将具备与天帝因陀罗等同的光辉。因此，你必须时常护持他，提防天帝（因陀罗）。”

Educational Q&A
The verse frames parental and royal duty as protective responsibility: extraordinary power or brilliance can attract hostility even from the divine realm, so dharma requires vigilance and safeguarding the vulnerable, especially one’s child.
Parvata delivers a prophecy: the listener will have a son named Suvarṇaṣṭhīvin, radiant like Indra. Because such radiance may provoke Indra’s threat, Parvata warns that the child must be protected from Devarāja (Indra).
