lyrics

gajaananayutam gaNEshwaram
bhajaami satatam surEshwaram
(gajaananayutam)

ajEndrapoojita vighnEshwaram
gaNaadisannutapada padmakaram
kunjarabhanjana caturatarakaram
guruguhaagrajam praNavaakaaram

translation
I constantly sing the praise of GaNEshwara the elephant-faced, who is the lord of Devas.
Who is worshipped by Brahma and Indra. Remover of obstacles, whose lotus like feet and hands are worshipped by BhootagaNas. Who exhibited his skill in vanquishing Kunjara. He is the elder brother of Guruguha, and is of the form of PraNava.
