maha ganapatim manasaa smaraami

anupallavi
mahaa deva sutam guruguha nutam
maara koti prakaasham shaantam
mahaa kaavya naatakaadi priyam
mooshika vaahanaa modhaka priyam

With mind, I embrace the Great Ganesha,
The Great Ganesha.
By Vasishta, Vamadeva revered,
With mind, I embrace the Great Ganesha.

Without pause:
Son of the Great God, by Guruguha praised,
Light of a million suns, serene.
Lover of great poems, dramas,
Rider of the mouse, fond of sweet treats.
