Praise be to Lord Subrahmanya, the ocean of compassion. Residing on the hill of Pazhani, He is the son of Mother Parvati and Lord Shiva. He is the embodiment of the primordial sound of Om. He is the beloved of Valli. He is verily Lord Sai, the Lord of Puttaparthi who uplifts the downtrodden. Victory to Lord Muruga, one who wields the Vel (spear).
