Lord Ganesha

श्री गणेश प्रातः स्मरणम्

(Sri Ganesa Pratah Smaranam)

Also known as ganesha pratah smarana stotram · shri ganesa pratah smaranam · shree ganesa pratah smaranam

Three verses for the morning, and unlike the other dawn-triplets in this collection all three belong to the same hour: at dawn I remember, at dawn I bow, at dawn I worship, one verb to a verse. The first has the two cheeks bright with a flood of vermilion, the fierce staff that breaks the tall obstacle to pieces, and the whole company of gods led by Indra bowing to him. The second gives him a sacred thread that is the lord of the two-tongued ones, and calls him the son of the two auspicious ones, clever at play. The third turns to what he undoes — a forest fire to the grief of devotees, and the oblation-bearing flame that burns down the forest of ignorance. Its promise is imperial: three verses read every morning, and they always give sovereignty.

Lyrics
प्रातः स्मरामि गणनाथमनाथबन्धुं
सिन्दूरपूरपरिशोभितगण्डयुग्मम् ।
उद्दण्डविघ्नपरिखण्डनचण्डदण्डं
आखण्डलादिसुरनायकबृन्दवन्द्यम् ॥ १ ॥
प्रातर्नमामि चतुराननवन्द्यमानं
इच्छानुकूलमखिलं च वरं ददानम् ।
तं तुन्दिलं द्विरसनाधिप यज्ञसूत्रं
पुत्रं विलासचतुरं शिवयोः शिवाय ॥ २ ॥
प्रातर्भजाम्यभयदं खलु भक्तशोक-
-दावानलं गणविभुं वरकुञ्जरास्यम् ।
अज्ञानकाननविनाशनहव्यवाहं
उत्साहवर्धनमहं सुतमीश्वरस्य ॥ ३ ॥
फलश्रुति
श्लोकत्रयमिदं पुण्यं सदा साम्राज्यदायकम् ।
प्रातरुत्थाय सततं यः पठेत्प्रयतः पुमान् ॥ ४ ॥
इति श्री गणेश प्रातःस्मरण स्तोत्रम् ।
