The Five-Gemmed Hymn of Praise to the Auspicious Lord Ganesha
ಶ್ರೀಗಣೇಶಾಯ ನಮಃ ॥
Salutations to the illustrious and auspicious Lord Ganesha.
ಮುದಾಕರಾತ್ತಮೋದಕಂ ಸದಾವಿಮುಕ್ತಿಸಾಧಕಂ ಕಲಾಧರಾವತಂಸಕಂ ವಿಲಾಸಿಲೋಕರಕ್ಷಕಮ್ ।
ಅನಾಯಕೈಕನಾಯಕಂ ವಿನಾಶಿತೇಭದೈತ್ಯಕಂ ನತಾಶುಭಾಶುನಾಶಕಂ ನಮಾಮಿ ತಂ ವಿನಾಯಕಮ್ ॥ ೧॥
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.
ನತೇತರಾತಿಭೀಕರಂ ನವೋದಿತಾರ್ಕಭಾಸ್ವರಂ ನಮತ್ಸುರಾರಿನಿರ್ಜರಂ ನತಾಧಿಕಾಪದುದ್ಧರಮ್ ।
ಸುರೇಶ್ವರಂ ನಿಧೀಶ್ವರಂ ಗಜೇಶ್ವರಂ ಗಣೇಶ್ವರಂ ಮಹೇಶ್ವರಂ ತಮಾಶ್ರಯೇ ಪರಾತ್ಪರಂ ನಿರನ್ತರಮ್ ॥ ೨॥
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.
ಸಮಸ್ತಲೋಕಶಙ್ಕರಂ ನಿರಸ್ತದೈತ್ಯಕುಞ್ಜರಂ ದರೇತರೋದರಂ ವರಂ ವರೇಭವಕ್ತ್ರಮಕ್ಷರಮ್ ।
ಕೃಪಾಕರಂ ಕ್ಷಮಾಕರಂ ಮುದಾಕರಂ ಯಶಸ್ಕರಂ ಮನಸ್ಕರಂ ನಮಸ್ಕೃತಾಂ ನಮಸ್ಕರೋಮಿ ಭಾಸ್ವರಮ್ ॥ ೩॥
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.
ಅಕಿಞ್ಚನಾರ್ತಿಮಾರ್ಜನಂ ಚಿರನ್ತನೋಕ್ತಿಭಾಜನಂ ಪುರಾರಿಪೂರ್ವನನ್ದನಂ ಸುರಾರಿಗರ್ವಚರ್ವಣಮ್ ।
ಪ್ರಪಞ್ಚನಾಶಭೀಷಣಂ ಧನಞ್ಜಯಾದಿಭೂಷಣಂ ಕಪೋಲದಾನವಾರಣಂ ಭಜೇ ಪುರಾಣವಾರಣಮ್ ॥ ೪॥
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.
ನಿತಾನ್ತಕಾನ್ತದನ್ತಕಾನ್ತಿಮನ್ತಕಾನ್ತಕಾತ್ಮಜಂ ಅಚಿನ್ತ್ಯರೂಪಮನ್ತಹೀನಮನ್ತರಾಯಕೃನ್ತನಮ್ ।
ಹೃದನ್ತರೇ ನಿರನ್ತರಂ ವಸನ್ತಮೇವ ಯೋಗಿನಾಂ ತಮೇಕದನ್ತಮೇವ ತಂ ವಿಚಿನ್ತಯಾಮಿ ಸನ್ತತಮ್ ॥ ೫॥
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.
ಮಹಾಗಣೇಶಪಞ್ಚರತ್ನಮಾದರೇಣ ಯೋಽನ್ವಹಂ ಪ್ರಜಲ್ಪತಿ ಪ್ರಭಾತಕೇ ಹೃದಿ ಸ್ಮರನ್ ಗಣೇಶ್ವರಮ್ ।
ಅರೋಗತಾಮದೋಷತಾಂ ಸುಸಾಹಿತೀಂ ಸುಪುತ್ರತಾಂ ಸಮಾಹಿತಾಯುರಷ್ಟಭೂತಿಮಭ್ಯುಪೈತಿ ಸೋಽಚಿರಾತ್ ॥ ೬॥
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.
ಇತಿ ಶ್ರೀಶಙ್ಕರಭಗವತಃ ಕೃತೌ ಶ್ರೀಗಣೇಶಪಞ್ಚರತ್ನಸ್ತೋತ್ರಂ ಸಮ್ಪೂರ್ಣಮ್ ॥
Thus concludes the 'Sri Ganesha Pancharatnam' (The Five Gems in Praise of Sri Ganesha), composed by the revered sage Sri Adi Shankaracharya.
