श्रीगणेशपञ्चरत्नस्तोत्रम्
The Five-Gemmed Hymn of Praise to the Auspicious Lord Ganesha
श्रीगणेशाय नमः ॥
Salutations to the illustrious and auspicious Lord Ganesha.
मुदाकरात्तमोदकं सदाविमुक्तिसाधकं कलाधरावतंसकं विलासिलोकरक्षकम् ।
अनायकैकनायकं विनाशितेभदैत्यकं नताशुभाशुनाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम् ॥ १॥
I bow to that supreme guide, Vinayaka,
who joyfully holds the sweet modaka in His hand,
who eternally bestows the gift of ultimate liberation,
who wears the crescent moon as His radiant crown,
and protects those who delight in the play of the universe.
He is the sole leader of those who have no leader,
the destroyer of the formidable elephant-demon,
and the swift dispeller of all misfortunes
for those who bow before Him in devotion.
नतेतरातिभीकरं नवोदितार्कभास्वरं नमत्सुरारिनिर्जरं नताधिकापदुद्धरम् ।
सुरेश्वरं निधीश्वरं गजेश्वरं गणेश्वरं महेश्वरं तमाश्रये परात्परं निरन्तरम् ॥ २॥
I eternally take refuge in Him, the Supreme beyond the supreme, who is terrifying to those who do not bow, yet radiant like the newly risen sun; who is worshipped by both gods and their adversaries, and who delivers those who bow to Him from the gravest of calamities. In Him, the Lord of gods, the Master of all treasures, the Elephant Lord, the Ruler of the Ganas, and the Great Lord, I seek shelter forever.
समस्तलोकशङ्करं निरस्तदैत्यकुञ्जरं दरेतरोदरं वरं वरेभवक्त्रमक्षरम् ।
कृपाकरं क्षमाकरं मुदाकरं यशस्करं मनस्करं नमस्कृतां नमस्करोमि भास्वरम् ॥ ३॥
I bow to the radiant and imperishable Lord, who brings auspiciousness to all the worlds, who destroyed the mighty elephant-demon, who possesses a large belly and the face of a noble elephant, and who is the supreme one. I bow to Him who bestows compassion, forgiveness, joy, and glory, and who illuminates the minds of those who surrender to Him in devotion.
अकिञ्चनार्तिमार्जनं चिरन्तनोक्तिभाजनं पुरारिपूर्वनन्दनं सुरारिगर्वचर्वणम् ।
प्रपञ्चनाशभीषणं धनञ्जयादिभूषणं कपोलदानवारणं भजे पुराणवारणम् ॥ ४॥
I worship that primeval Elephant-God, who wipes away the suffering of the destitute, who is the very vessel of the ancient Vedic revelations, the eldest son of Shiva (the destroyer of Tripura), and the crusher of the demons' pride. He is fearsome in dissolving the illusory universe, adorned by the serpent Dhananjaya and other ornaments, and from whose temples flows the sacred rut of divine ecstasy.
नितान्तकान्तदन्तकान्तिमन्तकान्तकात्मजं अचिन्त्यरूपमन्तहीनमन्तरायकृन्तनम् ।
हृदन्तरे निरन्तरं वसन्तमेव योगिनां तमेकदन्तमेव तं विचिन्तयामि सन्ततम् ॥ ५॥
I constantly meditate upon that Single-Tusked Lord, whose beautiful tusk shines with supreme luster, the son of Shiva (the destroyer of Death itself). He is of inconceivable form, without end, the destroyer of all obstacles, who dwells eternally in the very depths of the hearts of yogis.
महागणेशपञ्चरत्नमादरेण योऽन्वहं प्रजल्पति प्रभातके हृदि स्मरन् गणेश्वरम् ।
अरोगतामदोषतां सुसाहितीं सुपुत्रतां समाहितायुरष्टभूतिमभ्युपैति सोऽचिरात् ॥ ६॥
He who recites this hymn of five gems to the Great Ganesha every morning with deep devotion, while meditating upon the Lord of Ganas in his heart, will soon attain freedom from disease, freedom from faults, mastery over fine literature, noble progeny, a long life of peaceful contemplation, and the eightfold divine prosperities.
इति श्रीशङ्करभगवतः कृतौ श्रीगणेशपञ्चरत्नस्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णम् ॥
Thus concludes the 'Sri Ganesha Pancharatnam' (The Five Gems in Praise of Sri Ganesha), composed by the revered sage Sri Adi Shankaracharya.
