The lord who is cruel to his enemies in my left hand,
And the Lord who prevents obstacles in my navel
I worship the lord of peacock in my right belly,
The Lord Gayasya in my left belly,
And the lord who lives in places ,where people are happy.
Due to their causing all sorts of good things,
I specially apply the paste of Ashta Gandhas,
In peculiar manner on all organs.

salvation,
And removes all the various sins committed,
I partake the remaining food which was offered to Ganesa.
I spend all my time usefully in the thought of Lord
Ganesa,
And Oh Lord Ganesa , please bless me so that,
I would have the good luck of communion with your
devotees.
