To Have Wise Children

Tamil Tansliteration

gaganamum vaanum bhuvanamum kaanavir kaaman angam
dhagana mun seidha dhavap perumaarkuth thadakkaiyum semm
muganumann naangiru moondrenaneth thoandriya moodharivinn
maganumundadaaya dhandroa valli nee seidha vallabhamae

Translation

This earth, the heaven and the universe
Witnessing process demolision of Kaman
With parts set on fire by my Lord
Reducing him to ashes oh Abhirami!
Yet thy will burgeoned into personified wisdom
As son with faces six and hands six and six
Unto that penancing Almighty as mortification
Hey Mother compassionate! Wonder thy grace!

Simple meaning

The God Kamadeva (Manmadhan…equivalent of Latin Cupid) was reduced to ashes by Siva which was witnessed by the whole cosmos; still the same Siva was made to get Karthigeya the six faced and twelve handed God who is embodiment of wisdom as son; its because of your grace only.

Commentary

The demon Surapadman ravaged the earth and tormented its beings. It was realized by the gods that only the son born of Shiva could lead the gods to victory over Tarakasuran, Surapadman and their demon companions.
Siva was doing penance alone; Other Gods plotted with Kamadeva, to shoot a flower arrow at Shiva, as He sat in deep meditation, so as to make Him fall in love with Parvati. When Kama aimed his arrow, Shiva opened his third eye(wisdom) and burned Kama to ashes instantly.
The sparks of the fiery seed of Shiva were unbearable; even the fire God Agni could not bear them; this fire was then transported by the river Ganga into the Saravana forest into a pond called the Saravana Poigai(located at mouths of river Ganga) , where the sparks became six children. They were raised by the six Krittika or Kartika - the stars that make up the Pleiades, earning the name Karthikeya. Parvati combined these six babies into one with six faces, ie. Shanmukha or Arumugan. Since he was born in the Saravana he was also called 'Saravanabhava.'
such an abstinate God was blessed with a son with six heads and twelve hands, who is wisdom personified by the grace of Abhirami;

so the point is nothing is impossible for Mother Abhirami

Significance of Karthigeya: Kartikeya symbols are based on the weapons - Vel, the Divine Lance that He carries and His mount the peacock. He is sometimes depicted with many weapons including: a sword, a javelin, a mace, a discus and a bow although more usually he is depicted wielding a sakti or spear. This symbolizes His purification of human ills. His javelin is used to symbolize His far reaching protection, His discus symbolizes His knowledge of the truth, His mace represents His strength and His bow shows His ability to defeat all ills. His peacock mount symbolizes his destruction of the ego.
His six heads represent the six siddhis bestowed upon yogis over the course of their spiritual development. This corresponds to his role as the bestower of siddhis.
