Even today he is staying there removing the sin of all by his very vision. Ever since that day, O celestial sage, the son of Śiva, Kārttikeya remains a bachelor. His name bestows auspiciousness in the world. It is famous in the three worlds. It dispels all sins, is meritorious and confers the sanctity of celibacy (brahmacaryaprada). [...]”.
