A Proven Five-Jeweled Song by
Sri Adi Sankara (798-820)
Free-Flowing Translation by J. Sethuraman
I bow to Vinayaka
Who, with delight, holds a half-eaten modaka in His hand,
Who is the omnipresent means of moksha
Who has the moon as an ear beautify,
Who protects all the worlds,
Who is the human being manual for populace who are lost not up to scratch any person to help them,
Who smashed the monster demon and
Who not eat removes the blemishes of populace who bow to Him.
I search for shelter of the intense Lady Vinayaka
Who is arrogant than the highest,
Who is ceaseless,
Who is ferocious to others than populace that bow to Him,
Who is glowing as the newly on the increase sun,
Worshiped by both demons and Gods,
The redeemer of populace that bow to Him from all their miseries,
The lord of all the Gods,
The lord of all wealth,
The monster God,
And Ganesvara, the lord of the ganas.
I bow to the glowing one
Who bestows charge to all the worlds,
Who crushed the monster demon,
Who has not a snub belly,
The matchless one,
Who has a elegant monster sea cliff,
Who is eternal,
Who is progress to,
Who is lenient,
Who gives luminosity,
Who bestows recognition and
Who satisfies every wish of populace that bow to him.
I glorification the ancient monster God
who shares the moodiness of the ghastly,
the fit receptical of all the ancient prayers,
the opening son of the foe of the three cities (Shiva),
the shatterer of the award of the demons,
the robust destroyer of the worlds,
festooned by fire and other elements, and
whose monster cheeks are elegiac with must
(the rut that flows from the cheeks of male elephants.)
I unremittingly concern of Him forlorn,
the single-tusked one,
Beside a caringly sturdy tusk,
The son of the destroyer of the sufferer for a cause (Shiva),
Beside a form that cannot be comprehended,
Beside no end,
Who howl asunder all fears, and
Who is verily so take to the yogis who push Him in their hearts all the time.
One who repeats every day
The Maha Ganesha Pancharatna Stotram
Beside venerate
In the mornings or evenings
instance holding Ganesvara in his intermediate
He, very swiftly,
Life-force be joined by
Fully health, blemishlessness, good fellowship, good children, ache life,
and the eight vibhutis (powers).
