Translation:
Aro hara, Muruga! the one with the glorious spear! come!
Murugan with the glorious spear! come!
The concealed deity of Kathirgama
Who appeared as a snake in Badulla,
Aro hara, Muruga! the one with the glorious spear! come!
The six-faced one with the glorious spear! come!
Who guides compassionate service;
Whose form is that of a three-headed snake,
Aro hara, Muruga! the one with the glorious spear! come!
The youthful one; son of the Krttika with the glorious spear!
Come! the spear of Kathirgama;
The spear of a snake in Badulla;
The spear of compassionate service;
The spear of a three-headed snake!
The spear of Skanda; the spear of power;
The spear of the son of the Krttika;
The spear of Subrahmanya; the spear of Subrahmanya!
