##I worship the young god who dwells on Kumarasaila, who has the
peacock as his vehicle, has twice six arms, wears a crown, whose six
faces are lovely with the brilliance cast by the gem-studded ear
ornaments he wears, who holds (in his hands) a spear, a (powerful)
missile, a staff, a cock, and a rosary. 1 ##

##I worship the god who dwells on Kumarasaila, joyful in the company of
(consorts) Valli and Devayani, decked with garlands of divine flowers
like the jasmine, and who is always fond of playing on the cymbal and
the resonant conch. 2 ##

## At all times, I seek refuge with Lord Guha, who has six faces, is
the color of red vermilion, is supremely intelligent, rides a divine
peacock, is the son of Rudra (Lord Siva), and is the commander of the
army of the celestials (Devas). 3 ##

##I worship Shri Kartikeya, mounted on a peacock, the knower of the
secret of the Maha Vakyas, charming of face, residing in the minds of
the great, the god of the good, the substance of the great Vedas, the
child of Mahadeva, and the ruler of the worlds.  4 ##

     iti shrI subrahmaNya stotraM sampUrNam ||
##Thus is complete Shri Subrahmanya StotraM

The first two stanzas seem to be related directly to
kumArashaila.  The third one is a dhyana sloka that is seen
in other Subrahmanya stotras.  The fourth one is from shrI
subrahmaNya bhujangam.
