om gaṁ gaṇapataye namaḥ

Salutation to the Ganapati whose seed mantra is om gaṁ

——————————————————————————————————

om ekadantāya vidmahe
vakratuṇḍāya dhīmahi
tanno dantī pracodayāt

May we know the single-tusked one
May we meditate upon the curved, elephant-shaped trunk
May that single-tusked one illuminate and guide our minds

——————————————————————————————————

om gaṇānāṁ tvā gaṇapatiṁ havāmahe
kaviṁ kaviṇām upamaśravastamam |
jyeṣṭharājaṁ brahmaṇāṁ brahmanaspata ā naḥ
śṛṇvannūtibhiḥ sīda sādanam ||
