Word-by-Word Breakdown
Origin & History
Source: Ganesha Purana / Mudgala Purana tradition (Mayureshwar Morgaon Mahatmya)
Author: Traditional; spoken by Lord Brahma (Brahma uvacha)
Period: Puranic
Ganesha incarnated as Mayureshwara, riding a peacock, to destroy the demon Sindhu, and made Morgaon his abode — the kshetra that became the foremost of the eight Ashtavinayaka shrines. In this hymn the creator Brahma himself praises that Mayuresha, sweeping from His playful cosmic sports to His nature as the supreme consciousness-bliss and Lord of countless universes. Pleased, Mayuresha pronounces the fruits of the stotra, declaring it a destroyer of sin and a giver of freedom, health and liberation.
