Bright red vermilion has been offered to the elephant-faced Lord. The big-bellied son of Gauri and Shiva looks radiant. He holds sweet jaggery laddus in his hand and is the master of the gods. His greatness cannot be described. I bow at his feet. (1)

Victory, victory to you, Ganaraja, giver of knowledge and happiness. Seeing you is a blessing, and my heart delights in you.

The eight siddhis, the spiritual powers, serve you, and you are the enemy of all troubles. You destroy obstacles, you are the auspicious one, and all power is yours. You shine like ten million suns. Your temples glisten like a mighty elephant's, and the lovely moon rests on your head. (2)

Victory, victory to you, Ganaraja, giver of knowledge and happiness. Seeing you is a blessing, and my heart delights in you.

Whoever comes to you for shelter with love and devotion is blessed with children, wealth and plenty of everything. You are such a great Lord, and so dear to me. Gosavinandan sings your praises day and night. (3)

Victory, victory to you, Ganaraja, giver of knowledge and happiness. Seeing you is a blessing, and my heart delights in you.
