ॐ पार्वतीप्रियनन्दनाय विद्महे
गङ्गासुताय धीमहि
तन्नः स्कन्दः प्रचोदयात्
Om Parvatipriyanandanaya Vidmahe
Gangasutaya Dhimahi
Tannah Skandah Prachodayat
Om, may we know the beloved joy of Mother Parvati,
And meditate deeply upon the radiant son borne by Mother Ganga;
May Lord Kartikeya awaken courage and spiritual wisdom.
