վś (विश्वारम्भ) refers to the “creator of the universe� and is used to describe Guha / Kārttikeya (i.e., Śiva’s son), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.4 (“Search for Kārttikeya and his conversation with Nandin�).—Accordingly, as Nandīśvara said to Kārttikeya and the Kṛttikās: “[...] You are the creator of the universe (ś), you are the lord. Your place is not among these. You are a mass of attributes and splendour as the soul of a Yogin. O brother, those who do not know you are of damned intellect. Although the toads and lotuses are in the same pond toads are not honoured. [...]�.
