Arthapāraga (अर्थपारग) refers to “one who is a master (in understanding)” (all sacred lores), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.14 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to the Ocean: “O ocean, listen, I shall narrate the future as predicted from the horoscope, entirely. Be attentive please. Since he was able to make my eyes water let him be famous in the name of Jalandhara. He will become a youth now itself. He will become a master of all sacred lores (sarvaśāstra-arthapāraga), very valorous, courageous, heroic, invincible and majestic like you. Like Kārttikeya he will be the conqueror of all in battles. He will shine with all sorts of prosperity. [...]”.
