Sumukhashchaikadantashcha (Twelve Names of Ganesha) PDF

सुमुखश्चैकदन्तश्च कपिलो गजकर्णकः। लम्बोदरश्च विकटो विघ्ननाशो गणाधिपः॥

Sumukhaś caikadantaś ca kapilo gajakarṇakaḥ। Lambodaraś ca vikaṭo vighnanāśo gaṇādhipaḥ॥

Sumukha (beautiful-faced), Ekadanta (single-tusked), Kapila (tawny), Gajakarna (elephant-eared), Lambodara (large-bellied), Vikata (immense), Vighnanasha (destroyer of obstacles), Ganadhipa (lord of the ganas), Dhumraketu (smoke-bannered), Ganadhyaksha (chief of the ganas), Bhalachandra (moon-browed), and Gajanana (elephant-faced) — whoever recites or even hears these twelve names of Ganesha at the start of study, at a marriage, while entering or departing, in battle or in any time of crisis — for that person no obstacle ever arises.

धूम्रकेतुर्गणाध्यक्षो भालचन्द्रो गजाननः। द्वादशैतानि नामानि यः पठेच्छृणुयादपि॥

Dhūmraketur gaṇādhyakṣo bhālacandro gajānanaḥ। Dvādaśaitāni nāmāni yaḥ paṭhec chṛṇuyād api॥

विद्यारम्भे विवाहे च प्रवेशे निर्गमे तथा। संग्रामे सङ्कटे चैव विघ्नस्तस्य न जायते॥

Vidyārambhe vivāhe ca praveśe nirgame tathā। Saṅgrāme saṅkaṭe caiva vighnas tasya na jāyate॥
