śrīgaṇapatīcī āratī

You bring happiness and take away sorrow, and with you no obstacle remains. Your love and grace fulfil every wish. Your whole body is beautiful, covered in red vermilion, and a pearl necklace shines at your throat.

Victory to you, O God, victory to you, Mangal Murti, the auspicious one. Just one sight of you fulfils every wish of the heart.

O son of Gauri, a jewel-studded ornament is offered to you, with sandalwood paste, kumkum and saffron. A crown set with diamonds looks beautiful on your head, and the bells of your anklets jingle at your feet.

Victory to you, O God, victory to you, Mangal Murti, the auspicious one. Just one sight of you fulfils every wish of the heart.

Big-bellied Lambodara, dressed in yellow silk, with a great snake tied around your waist. Your trunk is straight, your face is curved, and you have three eyes. Ramdas, the servant of Rama, waits for you at home. Come to me when I am in trouble and protect me at the last moment, O Lord worshipped by the gods.

Victory to you, O God, victory to you, Mangal Murti, the auspicious one. Just one sight of you fulfils every wish of the heart.
