Lord Ganesha

श्रीगणेश संस्कृतमारात्रिकम्

(Shri Ganesha Sanskrit Aratrikam (Sanskrit Aarti))

Mayura Kavi

Also known as sri ganesha sanskrit aratrikam (sanskrit aarti) · shree ganesha sanskrit aratrikam (sanskrit aarti) · ganesha sanskrit aratrikam (sanskrit aarti)

A Sanskrit aarti by the poet Mayura, and its refrain gives him two offices in one breath: leader of the hosts of obstacles, and bridge across the ocean of dullness. Its first verse is about the smallest of offerings — whoever has brought you fresh durva has got by it learning and wealth and a fame that never existed before. The second states the doctrine the whole form rests on, and states it as something observed rather than revealed: you are the one who receives the first salutation, it is famed in the world, it is seen in good practice, and the teachers say it too; and whoever turns away from you finds obstacles of every kind on the road to his own success. The third is three similes for a child your glance has fallen on even once — the sciences serve him like servants, he splits the enemy as the thunderbolt-handed does, and he cuts delusion as a peacock cuts a snake.

Lyrics
जयदेव जयदेव गजमुख सुखहेतो ।
नेतर्विघ्नगणानां जाड्यर्णवसेतो॥
येन भवदुपायनतां नीता नवदूर्वा
विद्यासम्पत्कीर्तिस्तेनाप्ताऽपूर्वा।
मुक्तिर्लभ्या सुखतस्तव नित्याऽपूर्वा
धार्या जगतः स्थितये भूमौ दिवि पूर्वा॥१॥
प्रथमनमस्कृतिभाक् त्वं तव लोकप्रथितं
दृष्टं सद्व्यवहारे गुरुभिरपि च कथितम्।
यः कश्चन विमुखस्त्वयि निजसिद्धेः पथि तं
विविधा विघ्ना भगवन् कुर्वन्ति व्यथितम्॥२॥
बालं सकृदनुसरति त्वद्दृष्टिश्चेत्ता
मनुरासीमिव दास्यो विद्याः स हि वेत्ता।
पविपाणिरिव परं परपक्षाणां भेत्ता
भवति मयूरोऽहेरिव मोहस्यच्छेत्ता॥३॥
॥ इति श्रीमयूरकविविरचितं श्रीगणेश संस्कृतमारात्रिकं सम्पूर्णम् ॥
