[...] Though he had many sons [i.e., bahuputra], the lord of mountain and his wife rejoiced more on seeing Klī frequently, after these celebrations. There in the palace of the lord of mountains the goddess Śiv grew up like Gaṅg in the rainy season and like the moon-light in the autumn. The goddess Klī of exquisite body and comely appearance acquired more and more splendour like the disk of the moon acquiring more and more digits day by day. [...]�.

Bahuputr (बहुपुत्र�) is the name of a Mtṛk-Śakti created by Ѳܻ in order to control the plague of demons created by Ի󲹰ܰ.—Accordingly, Andhaka-Asura tried to kidnap Um (Devī Prvatī), and was fiercely attacked by Ѳܻ who shot arrows at him from his 辱첹. when the arrows pierced the body of Ի󲹰ܰ, drops of blood fell to earth and from those drops, thousands of Andhakas arose.

Bahuputr (बहुपुत्र�) refers to one of the various ṛk-Śپ created by Rudra in order to destroy the clones that spawned from Ի󲹰첹’s body.—Accordingly, [...] Ի󲹰ܰ attempted to abduct Girjanandinī (Prvatī) and thus ensued a fierce battle between Ի󲹰ܰ and the great Rudra, the Lord of Um. Like raktabīja, every drop of blood that fell from the body of Andhaka created another Asura like him and in no time, the entire world was filled with Andhakas. To destroy the growing number of Andhakas, Rudra created innumerable ṛk-Śپ [viz., Bahuputr].
