Ganesha PancharatnamMudaa karaatta modakam sadaa vimukti

saadhakamKalaadharaavata nsakam vilaasi loka rakshakamAnaayakaika naayakam

vinaashitebha daityakamNataashubhaashu naashakam namaami tam vinaayakam ..

I bow to Vinayaka, who, with glee, holds a half-eaten modaka in His hand, who is

the ever-present means of moksha, who has the moon as an ear ornament, who

protects all the worlds, who is the single leader for those who have been left

leaderless (lost without anybody to help them), who destroyed the elephant

demon and who swiftly removes the blemishes of those who bow to Him.

nataadhikaapaduddharamSureshvaram nidhiishvaram gajeshvaram

ganeshvaramMaheshvaram tamaashraye paraatparam nirantaram ..

I seek refuge of the great Lord (Vinayaka), who is higher than the highest, who

is everlasting, who is ferocious to others than those that bow to Him and who

is resplendent as the newly rising sun, worshiped byboth demons and Gods, the

savior of those that bow to Him from all their miseries, the lord of all the

Gods, the lord of all wealth, the elephant God, and Ganeshvara, the lord of the

ganas.

varebhavaktram aksharamKripaakaram kshamaakaram mudaakaram

yashaskaramManaskaram namaskritaam namaskaromi bhaasvaram .

I bow to the resplendent one who bestows peace to all the worlds, who conquered

the elephant demon, who has not a small belly, the excellent one who has a

beautiful elephant face, who is eternal, who is kind, who is forgiving, who

gives happiness, who bestows fame and who satisfies every wish of those that

bow to Him.

AkInchanaarti marjanam chirantanokti bhaajanamPuraaripuurvanandanam suraari

garva charvanamPrapanchanaasha bhiishhanam dhananjayaadi

bhuushhanamKapoladaanavaaranam bhaje puranavaaranam ..

I worship the ancient elephant God who shares the misery of the poor, the fit

receptacle of all the ancient prayers, the first son of the enemy of the three

cities (Siva), the shatterer of the pride of the demons, the fierce destroyer

of the worlds, decorated by fire and other elements, and whose elephant cheeks

are flowing with musk (the rut that flows from the cheeks of male elephants.)

Nitaanta kaanta dantakaanti mantakaanta kaatmajamAchintyaruupa mantahiina

mantaraaya krintanamHridantare nirantaram vasantameva

yoginaamTamekadantamekameva chintayaami santatam ..

I constantly think of Him alone, the single-tusked one, with a lovingly

brilliant tusk, the son of the destroyer (Siva) of the sacrifice (of daksha),

with a form that cannot be comprehended, with no end, who tears asunder all

doubts, and who is verily like spring to the yogis who hold Him in their hearts

all the time.

Phala stutiMahaaganesha paJncharatnam aadarena yon.avahamPrajalpati prabhaatake

hridi smaran ganeshvaramArogataam adoshhataam susaahitiim

suputrataamSamaahitaayurashhta bhuutimabhyupaiti sochirat One who repeats every

day the Maha Ganesha Pancharatna Stotram with reverence, in the mornings

(evenings) while holding Ganeshvara in their heart, they, very quickly, will be

joined by good health, limitlessness, good fellowship, good children, long life

and the eight vibhutis.
