chandas Anuṣṭubh (śloka), 8 syllables in each of 4 pādas
paraṃ dhāma the highest home — The place past which there is nothing further to reach. Radha opens with the words usually kept for the highest reality and lays them on Ganesha.
note The printed text has a stray halant in vighna-nighna-karaṃ, and runs kāntaṃ and anantakaṃ together as one word.

surapadmadineśa the sun to the lotus that is the gods — The lotus opens only when the sun rises. The gods, the image says, come awake at his appearing.

note Three verses is all there is, and the last of them is the promise. That a hymn to Ganesha should be put in Radha's mouth is itself unusual; it is what makes this small piece worth keeping.
