मज ह्रदयीं सद्गुरु।

मज ह्रदयीं सद्गुरु। जेणे तारिलो हा संसारपूरु।
म्हणऊनि विशेषे अत्यादरु। विवेकावरी।।


My Guru deserves special respect for giving me the gift of prudence, of discernment. He therefore resides in my heart because he saw me through the sea of life on earth.

अाता अभिनव वाग्विलासिनी।

अाता अभिनव वाग्विलासिनी। जे चातुर्यार्थकलाकामिनी।
ते शारदा विश्वमोहिनी। नमस्कारिली मियां।।


Now (after having worshipped Ganesha) I bow to the unique Goddess that resides on my tongue. She is the Goddess of astuteness, of meaning residing in the word and of the arts. She is Sharada, the one who has hypnotized the entire universe.

अकार चरणयुगुल।

अकार चरणयुगुल। उकार उदर विशाल। मकार महामंडल। मस्तकाकारे।।

The Akaar in the A -U - M are Ganesha’s two legs, the Ukaar is Ganesha’s large, rounded stomach and the Makaar is the shape of his large head. 

हे तिन्ही एकवटले। तेथे शब्दब्रह्म कवळले। ते मियां गुरुकृपा नमिलें। आदिबीज।।


Where the three elements of AUM gather together the entire universe of the word is embraced. With the permission of his teacher, the author pays obeisance to this deity that is the seed of all.

उपरि दशोपनिषदें।

उपरि दशोपनिषदें। जियें उदारें ज्ञानमकरंदें। तियें कुसुमें मुगुटीं सुगंधे। शोभती भलीं। 


The Upanishads are flowers that hold the nectar of knowledge inside them. These flowers adorn the forehead of Ganesha like a crown.

प्रमेयप्रवाल सुप्रभ।

प्रमेयप्रवाल सुप्रभ। द्वैताद्वैत तेचि निकुंभ। सरिसे एकवटत इभ - । मस्तकावरी।।


The principles laid down in the Shruti and the Smriti literature are the corals on Ganesha’s body and dualism and monism are his well balanced and well propotioned cheeks.

मज अवगमलिया दोनी।

मज अवगमलिया दोनी। मीमांसा श्रवणस्थानी। बोधमदामृत मुनी -। अली सेविती।।

The ears symbolise the Poorva Mimansa and Uttara Mimansa philosophy and understanding and knowledge is the mad or temporin secreted from Ganesha’s forehead that attracts the Munis like bees to honey.

तरी संवादु तोचि दशनु।

तरी संवादु तोचि दशनु। जो समताशुभ्रवर्णु। देवो उन्मेषसूक्ष्मेक्षणु। विघ्नराजु।।


The tooth symbolises communication and its white colour its unbiased and unprejudiced nature. The small eyes are the symbol of knowledge that is able to discern obstacles.
