Lord Ganesha

ಶ್ರೀ ಷೋಡಶ ಗಣಪತಿ ಸ್ತವಮ್

(Sri Sodasa Ganapati Stavam in Kannada)

Also known as shodasa ganapathi stavam · shri sodasa ganapati stavam · shree sodasa ganapati stavam

The sixteen Ganapatis, given as a plain enumeration in verse — the first is Bala, the second Taruna, the third Bhakta, the fourth Vira, and so on to the sixteenth, Urdhva. They are the first sixteen of the thirty-two whose namavali is also in this collection, in the same order, and setting the two side by side turns up one real divergence: where that list has Dvija, the twice-born, this one has Dhvaja, the banner. The last three verses are the fruit. Recited at the three junctures it makes a man happy and victorious on every side; his obstacles run from him as snakes run from Garuda; and by the grace of the lord of the ganas he becomes, it says without qualification, greatly wise.
