Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSamujjvala (समुज्ज्वल) refers to a “brilliant lustre” , according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, after the Kṛttikās spoke to Kārttikeya: “[...] The Nīrājana rite was performed by the delighted gods in the company of their wives. The sages adored Kumāra with the Vedic chants, the musicians by singing songs, and others by playing upon musical instruments. Placing Kumāra shining with brilliant lustre (samujjvala) on his lap Pārvatī shone with glory as the greatest among women who carried sons. [...]”.
