ଉତ୍ପତ୍ତି ଓ କଥା

Rudrayamala Tantra (श्रीरुद्रयामल) · Traditional (revealed by Skanda; from the Rudrayamala) · Tantric / Puranic

The Pragya Vivardhana Karthikeya Stotram is drawn from the Rudrayamala, a celebrated Tantric text. It is set as the words of Skanda (Kartikeya) himself, who reveals twenty-eight of his own names and declares them to be made of great mantras. Because Kartikeya is here invoked as Guha, Sarasvata and the ocean of Shabda-Brahman, the hymn became especially beloved as a prayer for wisdom and eloquence — its very name, 'Pragya-Vivardhana', meaning 'that which increases the intellect'. It is widely recited by students and seekers of learning.

ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି

The stotra's own phala-shruti tells the great promise attached to it: that one who recites these twenty-eight names of Skanda at dawn with faith, though born mute, would become a master of eloquent speech and attain great wisdom — a power for which devotees, especially students, treasure it to this day.

ହଁ — କେବଳ ଲିପି ବଦଳେ; ଶବ୍ଦ ଓ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଅର୍ଥ ମୂଳ ହିଁ ରହେ। ଏହି ପୃଷ୍ଠାର ଶ୍ଳୋକ-ଶ୍ଳୋକ ଅର୍ଥ, ଲାଭ ଓ ପାଠ ବିଧି ସମାନ ଭାବେ ପ୍ରଯୁଜ୍ୟ।
It is a short Sanskrit hymn to Lord Kartikeya (Murugan / Skanda) from the Rudrayamala Tantra, in which Skanda himself enumerates twenty-eight of his own names. Its name means 'the stotra that increases pragya (wisdom)', and it is recited above all to gain intelligence, learning and eloquence.
Its concluding verses promise that whoever recites these twenty-eight names at dawn with faith, even if he is mute, becomes a 'Vachaspati' (master of speech) and attains 'maha-prajna' — great wisdom — and that there is no doubt about this result.
It is cherished especially by students, scholars, speakers and all seekers of knowledge. It is commonly recited before study or examinations and as a daily prayer for clarity of mind, since Kartikeya here is invoked as Sarasvata and Guha, the giver of wisdom.
The names span Kartikeya's birth, family, weapons and inner nature — Yogishvara, Mahasena, Agninandana, Skanda, Kumara, Senani, Gangeya, Shikhidhvaja, Tarakari, Umaputra, Krauncari, Shadanana, Guha, Sanatkumara, Sharajanma and more — together forming a complete meditation on the Lord as both warrior and the embodiment of wisdom.
