subrahmaṇya pañca ratna stotram

I take refuge in Brahmaṇyadeva — the six-faced one (ṣaḍānanaḥ) whose body is anointed with fragrant sandal paste (chandanalēpitāṅgaḥ), broad of chest (mahōrasaḥ), who rides the divine peacock (divyamayūravāhanaḥ), son of Rudra (rudrasyasūnuḥ), and lord of all the celestial realms (suralōkanāthaḥ).

I take refuge in Brahmaṇyadeva — blazing with divine brilliance (jājvalyamānaḥ), saluted by the entire host of gods (suravṛndavandyaḥ), the ever-youthful Kumāra dwelling in the temple on the river's bank (kumāra dhārātaṭa mandirasthaḥ), as handsome as the god of love himself (kandarparūpaḥ), with a body of surpassing beauty (kamanīyagātraḥ).

I take refuge in Brahmaṇyadeva — the twelve-armed one (dviṣaḍbhujaḥ), with twelve divine eyes (dvādaśadivyanētraḥ), whose body is the three Vedas (trayītanuḥ), who holds the trident and sword (śūlamasī dadhānaḥ), the incarnation of the divine Śeṣa serpent (śēṣāvatāraḥ), of incomparably beautiful form (kamanīyarūpaḥ).

I take refuge in Brahmaṇyadeva — the most excellent of gods (surōttamaḥ), resplendent in terrible battle against the enemies of heaven (surārighōrāhavaśōbhamānaḥ), the bearer of the Śakti spear (śaktadharaḥ), the ever-youthful Kumāra, whose hands shine gloriously wielding the keen Śakti weapon (sudhāra śaktyāyudha śōbhihastaḥ).

I take refuge in Brahmaṇyadeva — the granter of all desired objects (iṣṭārthasiddhipradaḥ), son of Śiva (īśaputraḥ), granter of desired food and sustenance (iṣṭānnadaḥ), the wish-fulfilling divine cow for the earth's sages (bhūsurakāmadhēnuḥ), born of the Gaṅgā (gaṅgōdbhavaḥ), who is favorable and gracious to all people (sarvajanānukūlaḥ).

Whoever recites these five verses here with devotion, having fixed the mind on Brahmaṇyadeva — that person attains incomparable enjoyments and prosperity in this very life, and in the end attains the supreme realm of Subrahmanya.
