ब्रह्मोवाच ॥ एतस्मिन्नंतरे तत्र क्रौञ्चनामाचलो मुने ॥ आजगाम कुमारस्य शरणं बाणपीडित ॥ १ ॥

Brahmā said: O sage, in the meantime the mountain Krauñca, harassed by Bāṇa came there and sought refuge in Kumāra.

पलायमानो यो युद्धादसोढा तेज ऐश्वरम्॥ तुतोदातीव स क्रौञ्चं कोट्यायुतबलान्वितः ॥२॥

This Bāṇa had been fleeing from the previous battle, unable to bear the brilliance of the lord. He with the army of ten thousand persons, inflicted pain on Krauñca with the tip of his missiles.

प्रणिपत्य कुमारस्य स भक्त्या चरणाम्बुजम् ॥ प्रेमनिर्भरया वाचा तुष्टाव गुहमादरात् ॥३॥

The mountain Krauñca devoutly bowed at the lotuslike feet of Kumāra and eulogised him with reverence with words full of love.

Krauñca said: O Kumāra, O Skanda, O lord of gods, O slayer of the Asura Tāraka protect me who have sought refuge in you. I am harassed by the Asura Bāṇa.
