Oh
my Dear Muruga, Give your full support, Oh the holy consort of Valli
and Devasena,
you are the chief among the gods, you are very
merciful, compassionate and affectionate towards your devotees,
your
face appears similar to the full moon, and we want to listen to your
honey dipped, sweetened speech again and again.
Oh
my Dear Muruga, the great warrior god, whose beauty cannot be
described even by your parent Lord Shiva and Ma Parvati, whose tender
feet is always worshipped by the celestials like Kubera, Indra,
Surya, Brahma, Chandra, Agni and Vayu,
and your name and fame is
spread throughout the world through Deva Rishi Narada.
Oh my Dear Muruga, you are the source of everything in the world, through your divine look, even the dreaded diseases and the sins of your devotees would be removed.
Oh my Dear Muruga, you contain the wonderful weapon spear on your hand, you are showing your utmost grace on your devotees, and your wonderful divine plays resemble to that of Lord Krishna.
Oh
my Dear Muruga, you are the one who act as a best guardian to Lord
Devendra,
and you have removed his sorrow, by killing the dreaded
demon Surapadman.
Oh my Dear Muruga, you are wearing a diamond crown filled with full of pearls, and your ear rings glitters like that of fire, and your stunning beauty shakes everybody.
Oh my Dear Muruga, those chant your names and Mantras, would get all sorts of prosperity in their lives, those who takes bath on the holy pond of your temples, would be considered as taking bath in the Holy Ganges water itself, those who eat your wonderful Prasad in the temples, would get the same taste of the Holy divine nectar.
Oh
my Dear Muruga,
those who call you from any part of the world,
would be protected by you immediately. Those who do charity work on
your name, would live like the wealth god Kubera in their life.
Oh my Dear Muruga, those who keep you on their soul, would become your most favourite devotees. Those who grant flowers to you at your temples would be protected by you, those who dedicate their entire life on worshipping you, would become your true Devotees.
Oh my Dear Muruga, by worshipping you heartily, even the dumb would be able to speak, deaf would be able to hear, blind would be able to see, lame would be able to walk, poor would become rich, sorrows would turn into happiness, and totally, your devotees would lead a heavenly life in this earth itself.
