Sing of Ganapati, Adored by the World

गाइये गनपति जगबंदन। संकर-सुवन भवानी-नंदन॥ १॥ सिद्धि-सदन, गज-बदन, बिनायक। कृपा-सिंधु, सुंदर, सब-लायक॥ २॥ मोदक-प्रिय, मुद-मंगल-दाता। बिद्या-बारिधि, बुद्धि-बिधाता॥ ३॥ माँगत तुलसिदास कर जोरे। बसहिं रामसिय मानस मोरे॥ ४॥

Sing of Ganapati, adored by the world: Shankara's son, the delight of Bhavani. (1) Abode of attainments, elephant-faced Vinayaka; ocean of grace, beautiful and fit for every task. (2) Lover of sweet cakes, giver of joy and auspiciousness; ocean of learning, ordainer of understanding. (3) With folded hands Tulsidas asks this: may Rama and Sita dwell within my mind. (4)
