The fiercely pouncing Love God (Manmathan) is sending a barrage of flower arrows; The blue seas are constantly troubling; The cuckoo from the groves comes slowly and sings a tune of melancholy; All these melt my love-torn daughter, who is like a deer.Will you not come and embrace Her? You are the learned Sambanthar, capable of composing poems in chaste Tamil! You are the fair one named Kumaresan, the Valourous! You have the feet of knowledge to which the Great munificent Siva prostrates; You are the Consort of Valli, O Great One!

|| 14 - ashththram ||
(Chanting the Holy 108 Names - of the Lord) [Nandikeswarar instructed this incantation to Sage Agastya. In truth, the names of Lord Skanda are innumerable. But for the sake of brevity, 108 of His descriptive names are enumerated below. In each instance, the sdhaka (practitioner) recites a name visualizing that the Lord stands before him or her, and mentally bows down before the Lord with each recitation. For the verbal root nam in Sanskrit literally means 'to bend'; hence the formula has the sense of "m! I bow down to the Lord who is . . . "]
