सदा शारदाः षण्मृगाङ्का यदि स्युः समुद्यन्त एव स्थिताश्चेत्समन्तात् । सदा पूर्णबिम्बाः कलङ्कैश्च हीना- स्तदा त्वन्मुखानां ब्रुवे स्कन्द साम्यम् ॥१३॥

Word breakdown
- सदा शारदाः षण्मृगाङ्का यदि स्युः
- If autumn moons six times were always rising
- समुद्यन्त एव स्थिताश्चेत्समन्तात् ।
- and standing all around, full orbs without blemish,
- सदा पूर्णबिम्बाः कलङ्कैश्च हीना-
- then I could speak of equality with your faces,
- स्तदा त्वन्मुखानां ब्रुवे स्कन्द साम्यम्
- O Skanda.
Six full moons without blemish would barely match the effulgence of the Lord's six faces. The six faces radiate a beauty no natural splendour can equal.
