ॐ वल्लीवल्लभाय विद्महे
दण्डपाणये धीमहि
तन्नः स्कन्दः प्रचोदयात्
Om Vallivallabhaya Vidmahe
Dandapanaye Dhimahi
Tannah Skandah Prachodayat
Om, may we know the beloved consort of Goddess Valli,
And meditate deeply upon Lord Dandapani holding the staff of renunciation at Palani;
May Lord Kartikeya awaken courage and spiritual wisdom.
