The learned one, who wishes, for more life, wealth and love, Salutations I bow to, Lord Ganapathi who is the son of Goddess Parvathi Think him first as god with broken tusk, Second as the Lord with one tusk, Third as the one with reddish black eyes, Fourth as the one who has the face of an elephant. Fifth as the one who has a very broad paunch, Sixth as the one who is cruel to his enemies, Seventh as the one who is remover of obstacles, Eighth as the one who is of the colour of smoke. Ninth as the one who has crescent in his forehead, Tenth as the one who is the leader of remover of obstacles, Eleventh as the leader of the army of Lord Shiva, And twelfth as the one who has the face of an elephant Any one reading these twelve names, At dawn, noon and dusk, Will never have fear of defeat, And would always achieve whatever he wants.
