Ganesha Pancharatnam

I bow to Vinayaka, who joyously holds a sweet modaka, who always bestows liberation, who wears the crescent moon as an ornament, who protects the universe, who is the sole leader of those without a leader, who destroyed the elephant demon, and who quickly destroys the misfortunes of those who bow to him.

I constantly seek refuge in him who is terrible to those not devoted, who shines like the rising sun, to whom demons and gods bow, who rescues his devotees from great calamities, the lord of gods, of wealth, of elephants, of the Ganas, the supreme lord.

I bow to the radiant one who brings auspiciousness to all worlds, who destroyed the elephant demon, who has a large belly, who is excellent, the imperishable one with an elephant face, the maker of grace, forgiveness, joy, fame, and good mind to those who bow.

I worship the ancient elephant-faced Lord who wipes away the suffering of the destitute, who is the vessel of ancient Vedic words, the first son of the destroyer of Tripura (Shiva), the crusher of the pride of the enemies of gods, terrifying at the destruction of the world, adorned by Dhananjaya and others, from whose cheeks rut flows.

I constantly meditate softly upon that Lord with one tusk, who has exceedingly beautiful shining tusks, the son of the destroyer of death (Shiva), of inconceivable form, infinite, the cutter of obstacles, who dwells eternally in the hearts of yogis.
