The Twelve Names of Lord Ganesha
Salutations to Lord Ganesha.

ಪ್ರಸನ್ನವದನಂ ಧ್ಯಾಯೇತ್ಸರ್ವವಿಘ್ನೋಪಶಾನ್ತಯೇಃ ॥ ೧॥
One should meditate upon Lord Ganesha, who is dressed in white garments, who is all-pervading, whose complexion is like the moon, who has four arms, and who has a pleasing countenance, for the complete removal of all obstacles.
ಅಭೀಪ್ಸಿತಾರ್ಥಸಿದ್ಧ್ಯರ್ಥಂ ಪೂಜಿತೋ ಯಃ ಸುರಾಸುರೈಃ ।
ಸರ್ವವಿಘ್ನಹರಸ್ತಸ್ಮೈ ಗಣಾಧಿಪತಯೇ ನಮಃ ॥ ೨॥
Salutations to that Lord of the Ganas (Ganesha), the destroyer of all obstacles, who is worshipped by the gods and demons alike for the fulfillment of their desired objectives.
ಗಣಾನಾಮಧಿಪಶ್ಚಣ್ಡೋ ಗಜವಕ್ತ್ರಸ್ತ್ರಿಲೋಚನಃ ।
ಪ್ರಸನ್ನೋ ಭವ ಮೇ ನಿತ್ಯಂ ವರದಾತರ್ವಿನಾಯಕ ॥ ೩॥
O leader of the Ganas, who is fierce (to the wicked), who has an elephant's face, and who has three eyes! O Vinayaka, the giver of boons, be pleased with me always!

9. Dhumraketu (One whose banner is smoke), 10. Ganadhyaksha (The Lord of the Ganas), 11. Bhalachandra (One who wears the moon on his forehead), 12. Gajanana (One with an elephant's face). Whoever recites these twelve names of Lord Ganesha...
ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥೀ ಲಭತೇ ವಿದ್ಯಾಂ ಧನಾರ್ಥಿ ವಿಪುಲಂ ಧನಮ್ ।
ಇಷ್ಟಕಾಮಂ ತು ಕಾಮಾರ್ಥೀ ಧರ್ಮಾರ್ಥೀ ಮೋಕ್ಷಮಕ್ಷಯಮ್ ॥ ೬॥
...If a seeker of knowledge recites them, he attains knowledge; a seeker of wealth attains abundant wealth; a seeker of desires attains his cherished desires; and a seeker of righteousness attains imperishable liberation (Moksha).
ವಿದ್ಯಾರಂಭೇ ವಿವಾಹೇ ಚ ಪ್ರವೇಶೇ ನಿರ್ಗಮೇ ತಥಾ ।
ಸಙ್ಗ್ರಾಮೇ ಸಙ್ಕಟೇ ಚೈವ ವಿಘ್ನಸ್ತಸ್ಯ ನ ಜಾಯತೇ ॥ ೭॥
For him (who recites these names), no obstacles will ever arise at the beginning of learning, during marriage, while entering or exiting (a new place or journey), in battle, and in times of crisis.
ಇತಿ ಮುದ್ಗಲಪುರಾಣೋಕ್ತಂ ಶ್ರೀಗಣೇಶದ್ವಾದಶನಾಮಸ್ತೋತ್ರಂ ಸಮ್ಪೂರ್ಣಮ್ ।
Thus ends the Sri Ganesha Dwadashanama Stotram as spoken in the Mudgala Purana.
