Oh! Skanda, I meditate on Thy waist which is covered by a
gold colored cloth, shining with a string of ringing bells and beads,
wearing a shining gold belt over the golden silk cloth, and which is
by itself self-resplendent

  Meditation on Lord's Chest

Oh! conqueror of Tarakasura!  By embracing Valli's ( Hunter's daughter)
well--developed breast ornated with saffron, Thy chest became red
colored, thereby manifesting your eternal grace towards devotees. And
such a chest I adore.

  Meditation on Twelve Arms

Oh! Shanmukha!  Thy arms punished Brahma, Thy arms governs the world as
Thy play, Thy arms killed  Soorapadma and other demons who are
enemies of Indra, Thy arms are matchless in protecting the Universe,
and Thy arms are a terror to Thine enemies.  I worship Thy twelve
arms which does all these things effortlessly.
