मुदाकरात्तमोदकं सदा विमुक्तिसाधकं
कलाधरावतंसकं विलासिलोकरक्षकम्
अनायकैकनायकं विनाशितेभदैत्यकं
नताशुभाशुनाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम्
नतेतरातिभीकरं नवोदितार्कभास्वरं
नमत्सुरारिनिर्जरं नताधिकापदुद्धरम्
सुरेश्वरं निधीश्वरं गजेश्वरं गणेश्वरं
महेश्वरं तमाश्रये परात्परं निरन्तरम्
समस्तलोकशङ्करं निरस्तदैत्यकुञ्जरं
दरेतरोदरं वरं वरेभवक्त्रमक्षरम्
कृपाकरं क्षमाकरं मुदाकरं यशस्करं
मनस्करं नमस्कृतां नमस्करोमि भास्वरम्
अकिञ्चनार्तिमार्जनं चिरन्तनोक्तिभाजनं
पुरारिपूर्वनन्दनं सुरारिगर्वचर्वणम्
प्रपञ्चनाशभीषणं धनञ्जयादिभूषणं

अचिन्त्यरूपमन्तहीनमन्तरायकृन्तनम्
हृदन्तरे निरन्तरं वसन्तमेव योगिनां
तमेकदन्तमेव तं विचिन्तयामि सन्ततम्

What it means
I bow to Vinayaka, who holds the sweet modaka in his hand, the giver of liberation, crowned by the crescent, protector of the shining worlds, the one leader of the leaderless, destroyer of demons, who swiftly ends the troubles of those who bow. Across its five verses the hymn praises his radiance, his grace to gods and sages, and prays that the elephant-faced one dwell for ever in the heart of the seeker.
