He who is son of the
daughter of the kingdom of
mountains Parvati,
He who is leader of the multitude of Gods,
He who is dear to Shiva, He who has one
tusk, He who has a curved trunk, He who has
snake around his neck as yagnopavit, He
whose body is red, He whose eyes are reddish
brown, He who looks splendid in white robes,
He who takes care of his devotees just like
a KLPVRKHI (a mythical tree which yielded
whatever one wanted), and He who has the
head of elephant - I bow to that Vinayak (a
leader with special qualities).

He who has snare in
one hand and an axe in another, He who is
riding a mouse whose fire and light is as
powerful as those of millions of suns put
together, He who is like a mountain of
diamonds, He who is wearing a garland of
many colored flowers, He who is always
involved in the welfare of his devotees, He
who is decorated with crescent moon on his
head, He who takes care of his devotees just
like a KLPVRKHI, and He who has the head of
elephant - I bow to that Vinayak.

He who is most

patience whose karma is without attachment,
He who is both a creator and maintainer of
our world, He who is worshiped everywhere,
He who is four-faced and four-armed and He
who is worshiped in all the four yugs, He
who takes care of his devotees just like a
KLPVRKHI, and He who has the head of
elephant - I bow to that Vinayak.

who is Himself a Supreme Being, He who

Being, He who takes care of his devotees
just like KLPVRKHI and He who has the head
