## Lyrics

### Pallavi

gaṇarājena rakshitoham guṇijananuta pallavapadena

### Samashti Caranam

Aṇimādhyashṭṭa-siddhippradena Māṇikyamakuṭādidhareṇa  
Mantriṇi pūjita sumukhena mānitaguruguha vanditena  
Dinakarakotipprakāśena vinatāśrutamandāreṇa  
Manupūjita pāśāngkuśena kānanasthita brahmacaryeṇa

## Translation

A prayer to Lord Ganesh.

I am protected by ...

One who gives all kinds of ‘siddhi-s’ including ‘aNimaa’  
One who is adorned by such jewelry as diamond  
One who is worshiped by ‘Mantrini’  
One who has a beautiful face  
One who is respected by ‘Guruguha’ (Lord Subrammanya)  
One who shines with the brightness of one crore Suns  
One who gives all that is wanted by the devotees  
One who has the ‘binding-thread’ and trident   
One who dwells as ‘brahmachari’ (unmarried) in a forest  
One who has the soft feet like flower
