ಶ್ರೀ ಕಾರ್ತಿಕೇಯ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞಾವಿವರ್ಧನ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರಮ್

Salutations to Sri Kartikeya who is a master yogi, who is known as mahasena when referred to as the son of agni deva and who is known as kartikeya when referred to as the son of the six kritikas, who is known as skanda when referred to as son of devi Parvati, who is known as Kumara when referred to as son of devi Ganga, who is the leader of the army of devas, who is our master and who is born of lord Shankara.

Salutations to Sri Kartikeya who is loved by mother Ganga and his follower Tamrachuda, who is celebate and has peacock as his emblem, who is the enemy of Tarakasura and Krauncasura, who is the son of devi Uma and has six faces.

Salutations to Sri Kartikeya who is accomplished in the knowlege of the ocean of sabda-brahman, who is eloquent in describing the great spiritual secrets of the sabda-brahman and hence aptly known as guha when referred to as the son of lord Shiva (who is the embodiment of sabda-brahman), who is always youthful and pure like sanatkumara, who is divine and who grants both the fruits for worldly enjoyment (due to meritorious deeds) and final liberation.

Salutations to Sri Kartikeya who was born on shara, a particular variety of grass and hence known as Saravana, whose elder is Sri Ganesha and who has created (i.e. shown) the path of liberation, who is reverentially saluted by all the agamas (scriptures) and who shows the way towards the desired object of spiritual life (as mentioned in the scriptures).

My devotees who repeat my twenty eight names and contemplate on my spiritual precepts everyday at dawn with faith and devotion, will become a master of speech even if he is dumb (due to lack of wisdom).

My spiritual precepts and devotional repetition of my names will act like maha mantra, also devotee will obtain great wisdom and intelligence by contemplating on my divine leela (play).

Thus ends the description which augments the intelligence and wisdom from the rudra yamala text, thus ends the eulogy of the illustrious Sri Kartikeya.
