All the obstacles would be driven out  and would become free  of diseases .

Ganeswara prasadena maha jnani bhaved druvam,
Puthrarthi labhathe  puthram , bharyarthi kusalam sriyam

By the grace of Ganesa   he would  definitely  become   greatly wise  man,
He who seeks sons will get a son and he who seeks a wife would  get an efficient wife.

Maha jada  kaveendrascha vidhyaavaamsa   bhaved druvam,
Puthra thwam pasya vedhe thadhaa kopam cha na kuru.

When the sage  among devas told like this , the Lord   disappeared ,

Yagneswaraya   para  karana karanaya,
Radha   varaya  pari poorna thamaya   sakshad,
Goloka nama dhishanaya   nama parasmai.

Salutation to the ultimate  , the greatest name of Goloka,
Who is Krishna , the full Purusha  and divine  among divines,
Who is lord of Yagna  , divine  and cause  of all causes,
Who is  chosen one of Radha   and Who is  real and most complete

2.Yogeswara  kila vadanthi maha param,
Thwam thathraiva  sathwatha manaa krutha   vigraham cha ,
Asmabhir adhya vidhitham  yadadodwayam they ,
THasmai namosthu mahasaam  pathaye  parasmai.

My salutations   to the ultimate   lord   of knowledge  ,
Who  is told as    the  lord of all yoga as told  by the greatly divine ,
Who is also one who bestowed  there  the form created   by the mind,
And  who is understood by   me as  one who does not have  division.

3.Vyangyena vaa na , na hi lakshanaya   kadhaapi,
Spotena yach kavayo  na visaanthi mukhyaa ,
Nirdesya bhava rahitham prakruthe param cha,
Thwaam brahma nirgunam alalam  vrajama.

I seek  your protection because   you are  the pure Brahma   without any qualities ,
Who  is one who is never  implied nor one   who is rarely made  an aim,
Who can neither  be entered in to by great  books  or bursts  of sound,
And   who  is the divine nature  free of birth death cycle  which is aimed  in to.

4.Thwaam Brahma kechidh , avayanthi pare   cha ,
Kalam kechith prasanthamapare   bhuvi koorma roopam,
Poorve cha yogam apare  kila karthu   bhavam,
Anyokthibhir na vidhitham  saranam gathaa   sma.

I surrender to you , who cannot be  defined  any other way,
Who is   the Brahmam   , different    from other  divine beings,
Who  though  extremely peaceful  over time took the form of tortoise ,
Due    to  the need , as no other  form  would be of  any help.

5.SReyaskari  bhagawathas thwad   pada   sevam,
Hithwaa  adha Theertha yajanaadhi  thapas charanthi,
Jnanena a ye cha   vidhithaa  bahu vighna    sanghai  ,
SAnthadithaa  kimu bhavanthi  na they krutharthaa.

The service    to your feet   is one that brings  fame  ,
Instead of going  to sacred waters , penance   and fire sacrifices ,
And if this is well understood by   those  who create  the sound,
 Who  will   not become    satisfied   by this?

6.Vijnapyamadhya kimu deva   asesha sakshi,
Ya sarva Bhootha hrudeshu virajamana,
DEvair namadhbir  amalasya muktha dehais,
Thasmai  namo bhagwathe   purushothamaya.

What request  should be made to God who is the perfect witness,
And   who shines    in the heart  of all beings,
For by saluting that  God the pure one  would get detached  from the body
And  so I salute    that  God who is Purushothama.

7.Yo Radihika hrudaya  Sundara   chandra   hara ,
Sri Gopika  nayana jeevana moola haara,
Goloka dhama  dishana dwaja   aadhi deva,
Sa thwam vipathsu vibhudhaan paripahi  pahi.

Oh  pretty moon like necklace of the heart of Radha,
 Oh  prominent  ornament  of the  life of  the eyes  of Gopis,
Oh Primeval  and spiritual  God and twice born of Goloka,
You may kindly save the wise   ones   from dangers.

8.Vrundavanesa giri  raja pathe vrujesa,
Gopala vesha krutha  nithya vihara  leela,
Radhapathe sruthi dharadhipathe  dharaam thwaam,
Govardhanoddharana  udhara   dharma dharaam.

Oh Lord  of Vruja who is the mountain and road  in Brindavan,
Who daily plays    by putting on the  role of cowherd  ,
Oh Lord of Radha  , Oh king of the mountain , you are  the mountain,
And so  similar   to the  lifting  of Govardhana  mountain,  lift up Dharma.

Ithi Sri Garga   samhithaayaam  goloka khande  thritheeyo adhyaye,
Sri Krishna Sthuthi sampoornam.

Vallabhesa Kara Valamba Dasakam


Vallabhesa  Karavalamba  Dasakam
Translated   by
P.R.Ramachander

"Vallabha Ganapathi is that   form of Ganapathi Vallabha   Ganapathi is a rare  form of Ganapathi who has eleven  arms   and is believed   to be the protector of the universe. There are a few temples dedicated   to this form of Ganapathi ( for example  Mambalam, Madras)  and one of them is in Suva, Fiji Islands and another   in New york . I know of only three Karavalamvha stotras   , one dedicated    to Lord Subramanya , one to Lord Lakshmi Narasimha   and the other dedicated   to Lord Venkatesa.
.The stotram was taught by late Smt. Sarada, the daughter of Jailor & Astrologer Ganapathy Iyer, Irinjalakuda to her son Ganesan.  The first letters   of the   slokas of this stotram combine to form  "Om Sri Gam  Ganapathaye  Nama  and after  long search  I have confirmed   that  it is neither available in the web nor  in any of the books  of published   Ganesa stotras . I have translated the stotra   after  correcting the minor  mistakes which had crept in  over years . I am dedicating    this stotra  to the memory   of  Smt Sarada  , the great devotee  of Vallabha  Ganapathi."
Dhyanam
Bheeja pooragadekshukarmukarujaa chakrabja pasthpala,
Vrehygraswavishana  rathna kalasa prodhyuth karamboruha,
Dhyoyo vallabhaya  cha padmakarayaslishto jwalath bhooshaya,
Viswothpathi  vinasa  samsthithikaro vigno  visishtarthadha. 

It is necessary to meditate on that God who prevents bottlenecks,
Who holds in his eleven hands things like lemon, mace ,
Bow, sugarcane, spear ,holy wheel, lotus flower, rope,
The black bel flower, the paddy bunch, his own tusk and pot of gems,
Who is being embraced by his wife  who is well ornamented,
And having in her hand a lotus flower,
Who does the creation, upkeep and destruction of the universe,
And who blesses all with the special wealth.
