শ্ৰী মহাগণেশ পঞ্চৰত্নম্

I bow to that Vinayaka, who joyfully holds the modaka in His hand, who is ever the bestower of liberation, who has Shiva (the bearer of the crescent moon) as His crest ornament, and who gracefully protects the worlds. He is the sole leader of the leaderless (the one refuge of the shelterless), the destroyer of the elephant demon (Gajāsura), and the swift remover of all inauspiciousness for those who bow to Him.

To those who do not bow, He is exceedingly terrifying; to His devotees, He shines radiant as the newly risen sun. He vanquishes the enemies of the gods, and He lifts up those who bow before Him from the greatest of calamities. I continuously take refuge in that Lord of the gods, Lord of treasures, Lord of elephants, Lord of the ganas, the Supreme Lord — the One who is beyond the beyond, eternally.

I bow to the radiant one who bestows auspiciousness upon all worlds, who has vanquished the demon elephant (Gajāsura), whose belly is vast beyond measure, who is the most excellent one with the face of a lordly elephant, who is imperishable. He is the bestower of compassion, the bestower of forgiveness, the bestower of joy, the bestower of fame, and the bestower of mental focus to those who offer salutations. To that effulgent one, I offer my prostrations.

I worship the Ancient Elephant-faced One, who removes the afflictions of the destitute, who is the vessel of eternal utterances, who is the first-born joy of the Destroyer of Tripura (Shiva), who crushes the pride of the enemies of the gods, who is terrifying to the destruction of the manifest world, who is adorned by Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) and other great ones, and whose temples stream with the ichor of a mighty elephant.

I constantly meditate upon that One-Tusked Lord, the son of the destroyer of Death (Shiva), whose tusk shines with exceedingly beautiful radiance, whose form is beyond thought and comprehension, who is infinite and without end, who cuts asunder all obstacles, and who dwells eternally within the innermost hearts of the yogis without interruption.

He who recites this Mahaganesha Pancharatnam with devotion every day at dawn, remembering Ganeshvara in his heart, swiftly attains freedom from disease, freedom from faults, excellent companionship, worthy progeny, long life with mental composure, and the eightfold prosperity.
