आनन्द नर्तन गणपतिं भावये – (परम् / सदा )
चिदाकार मूलाधार ॐ कार गजवदनं परमम् परम् (आनन्द)

सानन्द मुनीन्द्र गणनुत शिव शङ्कर मानस निलीयमानं
तन्त्रीलय समन्वित गन्धर्व सारण वरानुगीय मानं
दीन जन मन्दारं अनुपम दिव्य कलेबर शोभाय मानं
भासमानं असमानं भजमानं भक्तजन सम्मानं

दिविपतिनुतं पदसरिसजं
म ग प म नि प मरकत निभं
मदकरिमुखं प्रणव निनदं
अजितं अनघं शुभदं परमम्
कनकाम्बर धरणं एक रदनं / दन्तं

I meditate upon the joyously dancing Ganapati. He is Spirit incarnate, he is the origin and the foundation, the form of Om, elephant faced, the greatest! He is praised by the joyful chiefs of sages. He lies hidden in the mind of Shiva Shankara. He dwells as the reverberations when celestial musicians endowed with the lute and rhythm strike a note. He is heaven for the wretched. He dwells with beauty in an incomparible divine kalEbara. He dwells in light. He is incomparable. He is fitting. He is honoured by his devotees.
