An Octet to the celestial Martial Chief !

This is the Eightfold Verse about Lord Subrahmanya, the celestial Military Commander. He represents Mars ( Bhauma Kumaro Smritha ). He is six faced, representing the six seasons, Vasanta, Greeshma, Varsha, Sarath, Hemantha & Sisira . He is the preceptor and main Deity of Astrology, according to the Tamil savants ! He is the son of Shiva and Parvathi, the male and female components of the Ultimate, the father and mother of the Universe ! His blessing is the blessing of Mars. If a native has Mars afflicted, astrologers tell him to undertake a trip to Palani, the great temple where He is enthroned !
