श्रीगणेशाय नमः। स्कन्द उवाच।

śrīgaṇeśāya namaḥ। skanda uvāca।

Salutation to Sri Ganesha. Skanda said:

योगीश्वरो महासेनः कार्तिकेयोऽग्निनन्दनः। स्कन्दः कुमारः सेनानीः स्वामी शङ्करसम्भवः॥ १॥

yogīśvaro mahāsenaḥ kārtikeyo'gninandanaḥ। skandaḥ kumāraḥ senānīḥ svāmī śaṅkarasambhavaḥ॥ 1॥

(1) Yogishvara (Lord of yogis), Mahasena (of the great army), Kartikeya, Agni-nandana (son/joy of Agni); Skanda, Kumara, Senani (commander of armies), Swami, Shankara-sambhava (arisen from Shiva);

गाङ्गेयस्ताम्रचूडश्च ब्रह्मचारी शिखिध्वजः। तारकारिरुमापुत्रः क्रौञ्चारिश्च षडाननः॥ २॥

gāṅgeyastāmracūḍaśca brahmacārī śikhidhvajaḥ। tārakārirumāputraḥ krauñcāriśca ṣaḍānanaḥ॥ 2॥

(2) Gangeya (son of Ganga), Tamrachuda (copper-crested), Brahmachari (the celibate), Shikhidhvaja (peacock-bannered); Tarakari (foe of Taraka), Umaputra (son of Uma), Krauncari (foe of Krauncha), and Shadanana (the six-faced);

शब्दब्रह्मसमुद्रश्च सिद्धः सारस्वतो गुहः। सनत्कुमारो भगवान् भोगमोक्षफलप्रदः॥ ३॥

śabdabrahmasamudraśca siddhaḥ sārasvato guhaḥ। sanatkumāro bhagavān bhogamokṣaphalapradaḥ॥ 3॥

(3) Shabda-brahma-samudra (ocean of sound-Brahman), Siddha (the accomplished), Sarasvata (lord of learning), Guha (who dwells in the heart's cave); Sanatkumara, Bhagavan (the Lord), and the giver of the fruits of enjoyment and liberation;

शरजन्मा गणाधीशपूर्वजो मुक्तिमार्गकृत्। सर्वागमप्रणेता च वाञ्छितार्थप्रदर्शनः॥ ४॥

śarajanmā gaṇādhīśapūrvajo muktimārgakṛt। sarvāgamapraṇetā ca vāñchitārthapradarśanaḥ॥ 4॥

(4) Sharajanma (born in the reeds), elder of Ganadhisha (Ganesha), maker of the path to liberation, propounder of all the Agamas, and the revealer of the desired goal —

अष्टाविंशतिनामानि मदीयानीति यः पठेत्। प्रत्यूषं श्रद्धया युक्तो मूको वाचस्पतिर्भवेत्॥ ५॥

aṣṭāviṃśatināmāni madīyānīti yaḥ paṭhet। pratyūṣaṃ śraddhayā yukto mūko vācaspatirbhavet॥ 5॥

(5) Whoever recites these twenty-eight names of mine at dawn, endowed with faith, though he be mute would become a master of speech;

महामन्त्रमयानीति मम नामानुकीर्तनम्। महाप्रज्ञामवाप्नोति नात्र कार्या विचारणा॥ ६॥

mahāmantramayānīti mama nāmānukīrtanam। mahāprajñāmavāpnoti nātra kāryā vicāraṇā॥ 6॥

(6) For this chanting of my names is made of great mantras — he attains great wisdom; of this there is no doubt.

॥ इति श्रीरुद्रयामले प्रज्ञाविवर्धनाख्यं श्रीमत्कार्तिकेयस्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णम्॥

॥ iti śrīrudrayāmale prajñāvivardhanākhyaṃ śrīmatkārtikeyastotraṃ sampūrṇam॥

Thus ends the blessed Karthikeya Stotram called 'Pragya-Vivardhana' (the increaser of wisdom) from the Sri Rudrayamala.
