Ganesh Pancharatnam — Complete Lyrics
गणेश पञ्चरत्नम्
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
Verse 1
मुदाकरात्तमोदकं सदा विमुक्तिसाधकं
कलाधरावतंसकं विलासिलोकरक्षकम् ।
अनायकैकनायकं विनाशितेभदैत्यकं
नताशुभाशुनाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम् ॥ १॥
Mudakarattamodakam sada vimuktisadhakam
Kaladharavatamsakam vilasilokarakshakam
Anayakaikanayakam vinashitebhadaityakam
Natashubhashunashakam namami tam vinayakam
I bow to Vinayaka — who joyfully holds the modaka in His hand, ever the bestower of liberation, crowned with the crescent moon, protector of the playful worlds, the one leader of those who have no leader, destroyer of the elephant-demon, swift to dispel the misfortunes of those who bow to Him.
Verse 2
नतेतरातिभीकरं नवोदितार्कभास्वरं
नमत्सुरारिनिर्जरं नताधिकापदुद्धरम् ।
सुरेश्वरं निधीश्वरं गजेश्वरं गणेश्वरं
महेश्वरं तमाश्रये परात्परं निरन्तरम् ॥ २॥
Natetaratibhikaram navoditarkabhasvaram
Namatsurarinirjaram natadhikapaduddharam
Sureshvaram nidhishvaram gajeshvaram ganeshvaram
Maheshvaram tamashraye paratparam nirantaram
I take constant refuge in Him, the supreme beyond the supreme — terrifying to the foes of the humble, radiant as the newly risen sun, before whom gods and immortals bow, uplifter of the deeply afflicted; the Lord of gods, Lord of treasures, the elephant Lord, the Lord of the ganas, the great Lord.
Verse 3
समस्तलोकशंकरं निरस्तदैत्यकुञ्जरं
दरेतरोदरं वरं वरेभवक्त्रमक्षरम् ।
कृपाकरं क्षमाकरं मुदाकरं यशस्करं
मनस्करं नमस्कृतां नमस्करोमि भास्वरम् ॥ ३॥
Samastalokashamkaram nirastadaityakunjaram
Daretarodaram varam varebhavaktramaksharam
Kripakaram kshamakaram mudakaram yashaskaram
Manaskaram namaskritam namaskaromi bhasvaram
I offer salutations to the radiant one — bringer of welfare to all the worlds, who cast out the demon-elephant, of a beautiful rounded belly, the boon-giver, elephant-faced and imperishable; the doer of grace, forgiveness, joy and fame, dwelling in the minds of those who bow to Him.
Verse 4
अकिंचनार्तिमार्जनं चिरन्तनोक्तिभाजनं
पुरारिपूर्वनन्दनं सुरारिगर्वचर्वणम् ।
प्रपञ्चनाशभीषणं धनंजयादिभूषणं
कपोलदानवारणं भजे पुराणवारणम् ॥ ४॥
Akimchanartimarjanam chirantanoktibhajanam
Puraripurvanandanam surarigarvacharvanam
Prapanchanashabhishanam dhanamjayadibhushanam
Kapoladanavaranam bhaje puranavaranam
I worship the ancient elephant-Lord — who wipes away the suffering of the destitute, the vessel of timeless praise, the joyous son of Shiva (the foe of Tripura), crusher of the pride of the demons; the awesome destroyer of the world at dissolution, adorned like Arjuna, from whose temples the ichor of grace flows.
Verse 5
नितान्तकान्तदन्तकान्तिमन्तकान्तकात्मजं
अचिन्त्यरूपमन्तहीनमन्तरायकृन्तनम् ।
हृदन्तरे निरन्तरं वसन्तमेव योगिनां
तमेकदन्तमेव तं विचिन्तयामि सन्ततम् ॥ ५॥
Nitantakantadantakantimantakantakatmajam
Achintyarupamantahinamantarayakrintanam
Hridantare nirantaram vasantameva yoginam
Tamekadantameva tam vichintayami santatam
I ever meditate on that One-Tusked Ganesha alone — of intensely lovely tusk and radiance, son of the slayer of Death (Shiva), of inconceivable form, without end, the cutter of every obstacle, who dwells unceasingly in the hearts of yogis.
Verse 6
महागणेशपञ्चरत्नमादरेण योऽन्वहं
प्रजल्पति प्रभातके हृदि स्मरन् गणेश्वरम् ।
अरोगतामदोषतां सुसाहितीं सुपुत्रतां
समाहितायुरष्टभूतिमभ्युपैति सोऽचिरात् ॥
Mahaganeshapancharatnamadarena yonvaham
Prajalpati prabhatake hridi smaran ganeshvaram
Arogatamadoshatam susahitim suputratam
Samahitayurashtabhutimabhyupaiti sochirat
Whoever recites this Maha-Ganesha Pancharatnam with devotion each day at dawn, remembering Ganeshvara in the heart, swiftly attains health, freedom from faults, fine learning, virtuous children, and a composed long life blessed with the eight prosperities.
