Trans 80-1

I salute that Vinayaka who is happily keeping modaka in His hand, who always ensures moksha (for His devotees), who wears the crescent moon on His head, who, sportfully, is the protector of the universe, who has nobody above him as controller as he is the sole leader, who is the destroyer of the eight elephantine demons (kAma, krOdha, lObha, mOha, mada, mAtsarya, aha~NkAra and aJNAna) and who instantly removes the sufferings of those who supplicate before Him and protects them by destroying the (inner) demons.

80-2

The one who is extremely terrible to those who turn away from Him, one having the effulgence of the rising Sun, one who is worshipped by demons and gods, one who lifts up from extreme danger those who supplicate to him, the chief among gods, the Lord of wealth, the prime one among elephants, head of the group of gods (celestials), supreme Lord, that (Ganesa) who is supreme, in HIM I take refuge at all times.

80-3

I prostrate in front of that brilliant one who bestows auspiciousness to the entire universe, who is the destroyer of the elephantine demons (kAma, krOdha, lObha, mOha, mada, mAtsarya, aha~NkAra and attachment), one with a belly which is not small, one having the face of a lofty elephant and one without dissipation or decay. To those who supplicate to Him with reverence, he is compassionate, he is given to forgiveness, he showers happiness, he confers fame to his devotees, he bestows wisdom and grants (satisfies) all their desires.

80-4

I pray to the Lord who removes all the wants of those in penury, who is the repository of the essence of the Vedas, who is the first -born of Purari (Lord Siva), one who smashed to smithereens the arrogance of the enemies of gods (i.e. the demons), who is powerful to remove the delusion caused by the panchabhUtas (i.e annihilation of maya from the minds of the devotees), who is decked with serpents and other ornaments, one with the rut (मदजल्) streaming down his cheeks, one who is the primordial elephant.

80-5

One with a charming appearance and with a lustrous tusk, the son of the one (Lord Siva) who curtailed the power of Antaka (i.e.Yama), one of incomprehensible form, one who has no end (one who is eternal), one who tears asunder all difficulties, one who resides permanently in the cave of the hearts of the yogis alone, that Lord who has a single tusk, I meditate only upon him at all times.

80-6

Whoever recites this pancharatna (five gems) on Maha Ganesa every morning with reverence, meditating on the chief of the gaNas (Lord Ganesa), attains ere long disease-free body, blemishless state, good companion, good progeny, peaceful and long life, and the eight-siddhis which are super-human powers.
