Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVarabhūṣaṇa (वरभूषण) refers to “excellent ornaments”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.3 (“The boyhood sports of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Realising his desire, the Kṛttikās, O sage, took [Guha / Kārttikeya] to their region joyously. [...] With great love they gave him the rarest garments and excellent ornaments (varabhūṣaṇa) [bhūṣaṇāni varāṇi vai] in the three worlds. Feeding him specially on the choicest delicacies day by day they brought up the boy prodigy. O dear, once that son of the Krttikās went to the celestial assembly and showed wonderful feats. [...]”.
