Oh divine God  who grants boons, I salute , please all make  people  to be with me

Mangalthu nayagane, mannalum  mudhal iraiva,

Oh  lord of auspiciousness, Oh first God who rules   the earth,

Who has a raised paunch, Oh gem   which shines

Oh Child given by Lord Shiva, who destroys   sorrow,

Oh our lamp  which burns  till morning, Oh pretty  gem , Oh Ganapathi

Appamudan pori  kadalai avaludane   arum kadhali,

With a single  mind , I will offer you  Appam, puffed rice,  ground nut,

Beaten rice, rare  banana fruit, incomparable  Modhaka,

With a request  that  you should   rule   me always

Oh divine fruit which will come  before your father  , Oh Ganapathi

Pillayarin  kuttudane, pizhai neekku  ukkiyittu,

Yellalavum chaliyaatha yem manathai  umakku a

I will offer my mind   which  never gets tired after,

Putting  fist knock  of Ganesa, after doing baski  without mistake

And I am praying in southern tamil for making you understand clearly,

And  Oh Ganapathi, please   give whatever you have   with pleasure

Indredutha ippaniyum , ini thodarum   yeppaniyum,

Nan maniye   , shanmuganaar   thannudane  nee yezhunthu,

Yen paniyai  un paniyaai  , yeduthandu   yemai kaakka,

POn  Vayithu  ganapathiye, pothiyena   pothukindren

The job   that  I have attempted today, and all jobs  that  would further  continue,

Oh pure gem  getting   up   along   with Shanmuka

Please consider my job    as your job and  please  protect us,

Oh Ganesa  with a golden belly, I praise  you saying  “all  praises.
