Pallavi

Sri Ganesa Saranam Gajaanana
Devar Munivar Paniyum Dayaakara

Pallavi

I surrender to you Ganesa who has an elephant face ,

Who is the merciful one saluted by Devas and sages.

Anupallavi
Nagaa Bharananey Naan marai Pottrum
Naamaney Pranava Roopaney Jaya

Anupallavi

Oh God who wears serpent as ornament ,

Whose name is praised by four Vedas

Who has the form of pranava “Om” , victory to you.

Charanam
Paadham Nambum Ramadasa Varadhaney
Mothaka Priyaney Gowri Suthaney
Adhi Devan Unadhu Innarul Illayel
Vedhanum Maalum Sei Thozhil undo ?

Charanam

Oh God who blesses Ramadasa who believes in your feet,

Who loves Modhakas , who is son of Parvathi,

If the sweet grace of you who is the primeval God is not there ,

Would it be possible for Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu to do their work?
