But as in this world there was no nurse who could suckle him, the seven stars, styled ordinarily David's Wain, were called down to give him suck, and they named him Camaro Svami (Kumara Swami) — that is, ' Lord Son.' These wretched people are so devoted to him that on all their writings, obligations, contracts, and correspondence they insert Arumugam Tumca (Arumugam tumika) — that is, ' Thou with the six faces, be with us.' Subsequent to this miracle, they imagine that Paravadi (Parvati) was born a second time to a king called Dacha Pariadi (Daksha Prajapati), and that Rudra was a second time married to her. One day, as she was bathing in the garden, she had an intense longing for a son, who forthwith appeared in her hand out of the sweat wiped from her breast. She gave him the name of Vinaigem (Vinayakam)—that is, 'He who is not God.' Rudra came home, and, ignorant of this event, was much dejected when he saw Vinayaka talking to Parvati. On this account he resolved to renounce her. But she knew whence his anger arose, and calmed him by describing how the thing had come to pass. When he learnt the truth, his sadness changed into joy; what had been a source of sorrow became a subject of rejoicing.
