Subramanya Bhujangam is a stotra composed by Sri Adi Shankara while at Thiruchendur (one of Lord Murugan’s six-holy abodes). When Shankara meditated upon Lord Skanda, he became aware of a self-luminous light shining in his heart and inspired words flowed from his mouth in extempore in bhujanga metre — producing the sacred work, Subramanya Bhujangam.
