1.Sumukha  pradhama, swa nama gayaka palaka, sevaka mangala Karaka

Kama Supooraka, Mangala Karaka, Thrahi vinayaka Bhavika  Tharaka

 

Good faced first  , he who looks after those  who sing his names, He who  does   good things to his devotees

He  who fulfills all desires, He who does good, Please protect us , the well  meaning star

 

2.Sindhura lepaka, modhaka  bhakshaka, durjana  sikshaka, nija jana  veekshaka

Ankusa  dharaka, jagadh  udharaka, loka vidharaka, samhara  karaka

 

He who applies Sindhura, who eats  modhaka  , he who punishes bad people and is  one seen by good people

He who carries a goad, who improves  the world, who reforms people  , he   who kills

 

3.Asesha karaka, saktha  vidharaka, mooshaka  vahaka, sura dhara  dahaka

Kalou sutharka, thwam hi vinayaka palaka seveka akhila kaharaka

 

He who does everything , distributes  to the strong, rides on mouse  , he who burns weight of devas,

He who reforms Kali age  , you are Vinaayaka  who looks after devotees  and does them all

Yo anugruhnathi bhakthamsa   prasanna  sumukha  smrutha

 

He who is full of mercy  , who looks at others  with pure sight

He who blesses devotees, who has pleasant look with a  good face  that is remembered

 

5. Ye parithyajya vihitham nishidham pracharanthi they

Vakthraa   sthana thundathyesha, vakra thunda  prakeerthitha

 

He who gives up what  is due and propagates it as not desirable
Due to his curved   tusk being broken, he is famous as  one with broken tusk

 

6.Prathamam mangalayaiva, Ganesa  smaryathe  Budhai

SArva dev archithaath vaathsa, Ganesa  prathama  smrutha

 

First  the auspecious one Ganesa  is remembered   by the wise

And since he is worshipped  by all devas, First  he is remembered  as Ganesa

 

7.Smaranan nija  bhakthaanaam, sarva vighnaan nivaarya  ya

Kaamaan  pooraythi Kshipram , Ganesa  Kama  porraka

 

Remembered by true   devotees, he removes  all obstacles

He  speedily  fulfills all desires and so Ganesa is the fulfiller of desires

 

8.Nivaaraya mangalaanyaasu smaranaadh   Gana  nayaka

Karothi mangalaan yesha, thatho mangala  karaka

 

Since he avoids   problems to good results , we remember him as  Lord of Ganas

Since he does  always  good , he is consider  as doer  of good

 

9.Indraadheenaam  thu devaanaam vividha nayaka khalu

Na nayako Ganesasya kopyathoasow  Vinayaka

 

Indra and all his devas  , have  very many leaders

But there is no leader like Ganesa and that leader  vinayaka gets angry
