I bow to that Lord known as Vinaayak, who is the beloved son of Gowri Maa. O Lord, bless us with success and fulfillment in life.
O Ganesh ji, I worship you calling your twelve names:
Firstly, You are Vakratunda – that Lord with the broken tusk. Secondly, You are Ekadanta – the single-tusked Lord.
Thirdly, You are Krishnapingaaksham – the one with reddish-black eyes. Fourthly, You are Gajavaktra – that elephant-faced Lord.
O Lord, Your fifth name is Lambodara – the large-bellied Lord. Your sixth name is Vikat – that invincible Lord. O Ganesh ji,
Your seventh name is Vighnaraaja – the remover of obstacles. Your eighth name is Dhoomravarna – that smokey-complexioned Lord.
Lord, I remember You as Bhaalachandra (ninth name) – the Lord with the crescent in his forehead, and as Vinaayak (tenth name) – the remover of difficulties.
Dear Lord, as Ganapati (eleventh name), You are the leader of the army of Lord Shiva, and as
Gajaanana (twelfth name), You are that elephant-headed Lord.
Any one who reads these twelve names at dawn, noon and dusk will never have fear of defeat, and will be successful in all worthwhile endeavors.
The devotee that pursues education will get knowledge. Through your grace O Lord, one can be blessed with wealth, progeny and salvation.
The sincere devotee who chants this special prayer as prescribed will reap great rewards within six months.
he devotee who writes this prayer and offers it to eight Brahmanas will develop wisdom and be blessed with divine qualities.
Thus ends this sorrow-destroying prayer to Ganesh ji from the Narada Purana.
