ॐ उन्मत्ताय विद्महे
सुरसैन्यसुरक्षकाय धीमहि
तन्नः स्कन्दः प्रचोदयात्
Om Unmattaya Vidmahe
Surasainyasurakshakaya Dhimahi
Tannah Skandah Prachodayat
Om, may we know Him who transcends worldly conventions,
And meditate deeply upon the protector of the armies of the gods;
May Lord Kartikeya awaken courage and spiritual wisdom.
