Invocation of SrI Vighneshvara:
Let Him who is called the giver of good things, who forever looks like a small child, crumbles mountains of great obstacles, who though having a huge elephants head, is much respected by Lord Shiva, who is being searched by gods like Brahma,
and who is called the lord of Ganas, bless me with wealth.

Acharya’s humility:

Reason for residing on the sea shore:

Destroyer of devotee’s difficulties:

Description
Sri Subramanya bhujangam is a stotra sung under inspiration by Sri Adi Shankaracharya at Thiruchendur ( presently located in Tamil Nadu, India). When he meditated upon SrI Subrahmanya, he became aware of the self luminous light shining in his heart and words came out his mouth in extempore in bhujanga metre. It is also said that acharya then actually saw the Adishesha worshipping the lord and adopted the bhujanga metre.
