TRANSLATION (not
word for word)
I prostrate before Lord Vinayaka who
holds modaka in his hand with great
joy, who bestows salvation, who wears the
moon as a crown on his head, who is the
sole leader of those who have no leaders,
who destroyed the elephant
demon named Gajasura, and who quickly
destroys the sins of those who bow down
to HIM.
I resort to that Lord continuously who is
frightening to those who are not
his devotees, who shines like the rising
sun, to whom all the Gods and demons
bow, who removes the great distress of his
his devotees, and who is the Best
among the best.
I bow down to the shining Ganapathi who
brings happiness to all the worlds,
who destroyed the demon Gajasura, who
has a big belly, beautiful elephant
face,who in Immortal, who gives mercy,
forgiveness and hapiness to those who
bow to Him, and who bestows ame and a
well-disposed mind.
I worship the ancient elephant god who
destroys the pains of the poor,
who is the abode of "Om", who is the irst
son of Lord Shiva (destroyer of
the Triple Cities), who destroys t5he pride
of the enemies of the Gods, who
is frightening to look at during the time of
the world's destruction, who is
fierce like an elephant in rut, and who
wears Dhananjaya and other serpants
as his ornaments.
I constantly feflect upon that single-
tusked god only, whose lustrous
tusk is very beautiful, who is the son of
Lord Shiva the god of death, whose
form is immortal and unknowable, who
tears all obstacles, and who dwells
forever in the hearts of the yogis.
He who recites every morning, with
devotion, these five gems about Lord
Ganapathi, and who remembers in his
heart the great Ganesha, will soon be
endowed with a healthy life, ree o all
blemishes, will obtain learning, good
sons, longevity and spiritual and material
prosperity.
