Meaning: I prostrate before Lord Vinaayaka who joyously holds modaka

in His hand, who bestows salvation, who wears the moon as a crown in

His head, who is the sole leader of those who lose themselves in the

world. The leader of the leaderless who destroyed the elephant demon

called Gajaasura and who quickly destroys the sins of those who bow

down to Him, I worship such a Lord Ganesh.

frightening to those not devoted, who shines like the morning sun, to

whom all the Gods and demons bow, who removes the great distress of

His devotees and who is the best among the best.

brings happiness to all the worlds, who destroyed the demon Gajasura,

who has a big belly, beautiful elephant face, who is immortal, who

gives mercy, forgiveness and happiness to those who bow to Him and

who bestows fame and a well disposed mind.

the poor, who is the abode of Aum, who is the first son of Lord Shiva

(Shiva who is the destroyer of triple cities), who destroys the pride

of the enemies of the Gods, who is frightening to look at during the

time of world's destruction, who is fierce like an elephant in rut

and who wears Dhananjaya and other serpents as his ornaments.

in the hearts of the Yogis.
