One of the most potent aspects of this deity is His divine weapon, the (holy spear). According to scripture, the goddess Parvati gifted this Vel to her son Murugan specifically to destroy the demon Soorapadman and his legion of asuras. Therefore, the Vel is not merely a physical weapon but a powerful symbol of spiritual energy that destroys ignorance, fear, and all forms of inner and outer negativity.

The pathigam continues for ten stanzas. The remaining stanzas follow a similar structure, praising various divine forces before culminating in the final line confirming the Vel's power to destroy those who oppose devotees of Lord Murugan.
