Traditional Sanskrit dhyana/salutation verse to Ganesha · Unknown (traditional) · Traditional
Ekadantam Mahakayam is among the most popular short salutations to Ganesha, recited at the opening of worship alongside 'Vakratunda Mahakaya' and 'Shuklambaradharam'. In two lines it gathers the Lord's best-known epithets — Ekadanta, Mahakaya, Lambodara, Gajanana — and bows to him as the obstacle-destroying Heramba, the protector of all who are weak and seek his shelter.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
Devotees hold that even this single verse, offered with sincere devotion at the start of any task, draws the grace of Heramba — the mighty yet tender protector — to clear away obstacles and shelter those who turn to him.
