1 (# 14 .B) THE GREATNESS OF MURUGAN.
Uma was thrilled to watch the pranks of Murugan. "He is not an ordinary child! Lord! Please tell me about his greatness" she asked Siva.
"Ganga transported the sparks out of which our son is born. He will be known as Gaangeyan. He appeared in the Saravanap poigai. So he will be known as Saravanabavan.
Six babies united to form one baby. So he will be called as Skandan. My six faces have become his six faces. My taaraka mantram has become his shadaakshara.
He is the swaroopam of my own powers. There is no difference between me and him. He may appear to be a small baby but he is really great.
He will imprison Brahma and take charge of the Creation. He will conquer the enemies of the Devas and put an end to their sufferings."
Uma was happy to learn about the greatness of Murugan from his father himself.
