Surrounded by the well dressed Apsaras, by many gay and happy looking Pishachas and by the celestial, that son of Agni sported in all his grandeur. To the dwellers of heaven, the installed Skanda looked like the sun rising after the darkness has passed away. Then thousands of the celestial forces.
एतैश्चान्यैश्च बहुभिस्तुष्टैर्हष्टैः स्वलंकृतैः। सुसंवृतः पिशाचानां गणैर्देवगणैस्तथा॥ क्रीडन् भाति तदा देवैरभिषिक्तश्च पावकिः। अभिषिक्तं महासेनमपश्यन्त दिवौकसः॥ विनिहत्य तमः सूर्यं यथेहाभ्युदितं तथा। अथैनमभ्ययुः सर्वा देवसेनाः सहस्रशः॥
