From whose limitless power emerged countless beings,
From whose property less form emerged great qualities,
And from whose power the world is divided in to a triad. )

Thandendradhayo deva sanga manushya,
Sada tham Ganesam namamo bhajama. 2
(We sing about and salute that Ganesa,
From whom this entire universe emerged,
And from whom Brahma who sits on a lotus,
Vishnu who pervades the universe,
Shiva who can hide this universe,
Indra, other devas and men emerged.)

Para brahma roopam chidananda bhootham,
Sada tham Ganesam namamo bhajama. 8
(We sing about and salute that Ganesa,
About whom even the Vedas do not understand,
And stop with searches with “This is not”, “This is not”,
Who is the real form of that eternal truth,
And who is the real form of that eternal joy.)

Evamukthwa thatho devaschanthrdhanam gatha prabhu. 13
He who meditates with devotion on Ganesa ,
Would get salvation and attain the rich world of the Lord.

God with one tusk,
God who is reddish black,
God with an elephant ears,
God with a very broad paunch,
God who is cruel to his enemies,
God who is the remover of obstacles,
God who is the leader of those who removes obstacles.)

God who has crescent in his forehead,
God who walks like an elephant,
God who has a broken tusk,
God who has very broad ears,
God who stays close to Lord Shiva,
God who is elder brother of Subrahmanya.)

During the commencement of education,
During the marriage ceremony,
During the commencement or coming back from a journey,
During war or for that matter during any matter,
Will not face any difficulties and will attain victory.
