॥श्रीगणाधिप-पञ्चरत्नम्॥
Gaṇādhipa-pañcaratna
श्रीसच्चिदानन्दशिवाभिनव्यनृसिंहभारत्यभिधान् यतीन्द्रान्।
विद्यानिधीन् मन्त्रनिधीन् सदात्मनिष्ठान् भजे मानवशम्भुरूपान्॥
The following Gaṇādhipa-pañcaratna was written by the 33rd Jagadguru of the Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sharada Peetham, Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswami , in imitation of Sri Adi Shankara’s famous Gaṇeśa-pañcaratna to be read as a prayer before the Mahāgaṇapati Vakyārtha Sabha commenced at Sringeri.
सरागलोकदुर्लभं विरागिलोकपूजितं
सुरासुरैर्नमस्कृतं जरापमृत्युनाशकम् ।
गिरा गुरुं श्रिया हरिं जयन्ति यत्पदार्चका
नमामि तं गणाधिपं कृपापयःपयोनिधिम् ॥१॥
sarāgalokadurlabhaṃ virāgilokapūjitaṃ
surāsurairnamaskṛtaṃ jarāpamṛtyunāśakam।
girā guruṃ śriyā hariṃ jayanti yatpadārcakā
namāmi taṃ gaṇādhipaṃ kṛpāpayaḥpayonidhim ॥1॥
I bow to Lord Gaṇeśa, an ocean of mercy, who is difficult to attain by the impassioned and worshipped by the dispassionate, who is revered by the gods and demons, who destroys old age and untimely death. The worshippers of His feet surpass Bṛhaspati (the preceptor of the gods) in speech and Lord Viṣṇu in splendor.
गिरीन्द्रजामुखाम्बुजप्रमोददानभास्करं
करीन्द्रवक्त्रमानताघसङ्घवारणोद्यतम् ।
सरीसृपेशबद्धकुक्षिमाश्रयामि सन्ततं
शरीरकान्तिनिर्जिताब्जबन्धुबालसन्ततिम् ॥२॥
I joyfully bow to Lord Gaṇeśa, the ruler of obstacles, who bestows kingship, who is the master of heaven and the other worlds, who wards off fever and other diseases, who has expelled hordes of demons. His lotus-like hand sports a goad (a hook to drive an elephant). He is constantly contemplated by the heart of those of unagitated minds.
श्रमापनोदनक्षमं समाहितान्तरात्मनां
सुमादिभिः सदार्चितं क्षमानिधिं गणाधिपम् ।
रमाधवादिपूजितं यमान्तकात्मसम्भवं
शमादिषड्गुणप्रदं नमाम्यहं विभूतये ॥५॥
śramāpanodanakṣamaṃ samāhitāntarātmanāṃ
sumādibhiḥ sadārcitaṃ kṣamānidhiṃ gaṇādhipam ।
ramādhavādipūjitaṃ yamāntakātmasambhavaṃ
śamādiṣaḍguṇapradaṃ namāmyahaṃ vibhūtaye ॥5॥
For (attaining) prosperity I bow to Lord Gaṇeśa, who is competent at removing fatigue of those whose inner self is composed. He is always worshipped by flowers etc. and is a repository of forbearance. He is worshipped by Lord Viṣṇu (the consort of Goddess Lakṣmī) and others. He is the son of Lord Śiva (the terminator of Yama – the god of death) and bestows the set of six (good) qualities – restraint of the mind etc.
गणाधिपस्य पञ्चकं नृणामभीष्टदायकं
प्रणामपूर्वकं जनाः पठन्ति ये मुदायुताः ।
भवन्ति ते विदां पुरःप्रगीतवैभवा जवात्
चिरायुषोऽधिकश्रियः सुसूनवो न संशयः ॥६॥
gaṇādhipasya pañcakaṃ nṛṇāmabhīṣṭadāyakaṃ
praṇāmapūrvakaṃ janāḥ paṭhanti ye mudāyutāḥ ।
bhavanti te vidāṃ puraḥpragītavaibhavā javāt
cirāyuṣo’dhikaśriyaḥ susūnavo na saṃśayaḥ ॥6॥
This collection of five verses (in praise) of Lord Gaṇeśa, grants the wishes of those persons who reverentially chant with joy. Soon, their glory is sung in front of the scholars. There is no doubt that they have a long life with abundant wealth and good progeny.
