Meaning

O Lord Muruga, We salute your 12 strong shoulders that protect us from our enemies, we salute your six faces, we salute your powerful weapon - the sacred VEL - which tore the mountain KROUNJA to bring out the asura who took refuge inside it, we also salute the sacred bird - cock - that decorates your symbol in the flag, we salute the peacock on which you go around the world , we salute your consort Devyani who was brought up by the white elephant Airavadam, we salute blemishless Valli, your other consort and last but not the least we salute all your bakthas who worship you, as a respectful prayer.
