For what purpose, or why have you come here? / Speak, you who resemble Manmatha! You appear to me like Kandarpa.' / Hearing Brahmā's words, he respectfully said to him: / 'I am a portion produced by your intention, as you desired creation. / O noble Prajāpati, what shall I do? Command me!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.2.12.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.skanda.6.2.12.72) - [Next: 6.2.13.5\_1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.skanda.6.2.13.5_1) - [Up: 6.2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.skanda.6.2.13) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.skanda~en-mt.6.2.13.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.skanda.6.2.13.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.skanda.6.2.13.5) · Pramāṇa
