Traditional Sanskrit hymn to Lord Skanda (Subrahmanya) · Traditional · Classical / medieval
The Skanda Shatkam is a much-loved short Sanskrit stotram to Lord Skanda (Murugan), the warrior-son of Shiva and Parvati who was born to destroy the demon Taraka and who leads the army of the gods. In six tightly woven verses it gathers his great names and deeds — Shanmukha, the crusher of Krauncha, slayer of Taraka, rider of the peacock, bearer of the Vel, beloved of Valli — each sealed with the refrain 'I bow to Skanda, the son of Shiva.' Its brevity and completeness have made it a popular daily prayer and a favourite during the Skanda Shashthi observance.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
Devotees hold that this small hymn carries the full power of Skanda's name: its closing verse declares that the one who but reads or hears it swiftly gains his heart's desires and is finally led to Skandaloka, the very abode of the Lord.
