Pallavi

 

Panchamukha ganapathim bajeham

Ganapathim bajeham prapancha karanam vigna varanam varam                               (Pancha)

 

I sing about the five faced Ganapathi,

I sing about Ganapathi , who is the cause of the world,

And is the blessed elephant removing obstacles.

 

Anupallavi

 

Pancha nandikeshwara sukumaram

Vanchithartha pala sakala dayakam

Ganapathim bajeham prapancha karanam vigna varanam varam                               (Pancha)

 

He who is dear  to the Five Nandi gods,

Who grants all that is desired,

I sing about that Ganapathi , who is the cause of the world,

And is the blessed elephant removing obstacles.

 

 

Charanam

 

Aja bhavaadhi nutha sri gajavadanam

Sujana vanditha poojitha padam

Vrijadathri giri shikara nivasinam

Thrijagan nayakam pari palakam

 

Elephant faced one who is worshipped by Brahma and Shiva,

Who has feet that are worshipped by good people,

Who lives at the top of the Vrijadathri mountain,

Who is the lord of the three worlds looking after them.

 

(madhyama kalam)

Ikshu danda kara uddandam

Rakshasadi hara jagathprachandam

Bhakshanadi sakala modaka priyam

Rakshithathyakila boomi gagana kailasa

Sura guruvaram guravaram varam                                                                                            (Pancha)

 

One who is powerful holding a sugarcane in his hand,

Who is world famous for killing of Rakshasas,

Who likes Modhaka most among all food items,

Who is the protector of all earth , sky and Kailasa,

Who is the teacher of all devas and who is a blessed teach
