[V Subrahmanian]

Here is a composition of the present Jagadguru of the Sringeri Peetham on
Subrahmanya:

सुब्रह्मण्यं सदा वन्दे
चिन्तितसकलेष्टदानदीक्षं तम् ।
दुष्टदैत्यविनाशनं देवसेनानायकं
दीनरक्षणतत्परं दयापारावारम् ॥

subrahmaṇyaṃ sadā vande
cintitasakaleṣṭadānadīkṣaṃ tam ;
duṣṭadaityavināśanaṃ devasenānāyakaṃ
dīnarakṣaṇatatparaṃ dayāpārāvāram .

भवभीतिनिवारणं भवानीप्रियतनयं
भुक्तिमुक्तिफलप्रदं भारतीतीर्थसेवितम् ॥

bhavabhītinivāraṇaṃ bhavānīpriyatanayaṃ
bhuktimuktiphalapradaṃ bhāratītīrthasevitam .

Here the Lord is said to confer Mukti too.  Similar is Shankaracharya's
famous Subrahmanya Bhujangam which says the Lord is the one hidden in the
Mahavakya:

मयूराधिरूढं महावाक्यगूढं
मनोहारिदेहं महच्चित्तगेहम् ।
महीदेवदेवं महावेदभावं
महादेवबालं भजे लोकपालम् ॥३॥

Shankara's famous Ganesha Pancharatnam begins with the verse:

मुदा करात्तमोदकं सदा विमुक्तिसाधकं  He is always conducive to provide Mukti.
कलाधरावतंसकं विलासलोकरक्षकम्।
अनायकैकनायकं विनाशितेभदैत्यकं
नताशुभाशुनाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम्॥१॥

The present Jagadguru of Sringeri composed a song on Lord Ayyappa when he
had visited the place with his Guru:

ज्ञानं षडास्यवरतातकृपैकलभ्यं
मोक्षस्तु तार्क्ष्यवरवाहदयैकलभ्यः ।
ज्ञानं च मोक्ष उभयं तु विना श्रमेण   The Lord confers both Jnanam and
Moksha with ease...
प्राप्यं जनैः हरिहरात्मजसत्प्रसादात् ॥ ६ ॥

There are many other stotras of Shankara and other Acharyas of the Peetham
here: https://sringeri.net/stotras  on many deities where one can see
Moksha as a component in many of them.

regards

subbu
