Origin & Story

Mudgala Purana (Second Khanda, Chapter 3) · Traditional; spoken by the Devarshis (gods and sages), narrated by Gritsamada / Mudgala · Puranic

In the Mudgala Purana — the great Ganapatya scripture devoted to Ganesha's incarnations — the gods and sages, overwhelmed by the glory of Ekadanta, offer this hymn of total surrender. Unable to praise Him adequately, they simply take refuge in Him verse after verse as the supreme Brahman from whom and by whose command the entire cosmos proceeds. Pleased, Ekadanta appears, accepts their stuti, and grants the boon that whoever recites it as prescribed will gain every accomplishment and union with Brahman.

✦ As told in scripture

Pleased by this hymn of surrender, Ekadanta himself declared it to be 'sarva-siddhi-pradayakam' — the giver of every accomplishment — promising that one who recites its twenty-one verses twenty-one times for twenty-one days will find nothing in the three worlds beyond reach and will accomplish even the impossible.

This page shows the complete ಏಕದಂತ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರಂ (ಏಕದಂತ ಶರಣಾಗತಿ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರಂ) written in the Sinhala script — the same Sanskrit/Hindi verses, transliterated character-by-character so you can read and chant comfortably. Tap any line (or the ▶ button) to hear it recited aloud.

Yes — only the script changes; the words and their meaning are the original. The verse-by-verse meaning, benefits and how-to-chant guidance on this page apply exactly the same.

It is the Ekadanta Sharanagati Stotram from the Mudgala Purana, in which the assembled gods and sages (devarshis) take refuge in Ganesha as 'Ekadanta', the One-Tusked Supreme Brahman. Each verse ends 'tam ekadantam sharanam vrajamah' — 'we take refuge in that Ekadanta'.

Ekadanta means 'the one with a single tusk'. Traditionally Ganesha broke off one tusk (or lost it in battle with Parashurama) and used it to write the Mahabharata at sage Vyasa's dictation. In this stotra the single tusk also symbolises the one, non-dual Reality.

The hymn's own phalashruti prescribes reciting its verses twenty-one times a day, for twenty-one days, while remembering Ganesha in the heart. It promises that the devotee then attains even the unattainable and is victorious everywhere.

It is intensely philosophical: rather than describing Ganesha's form, it contemplates Him as the formless Absolute — eternal Being, infinite consciousness, the Turiya (Fourth) state — by whose sole command Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva carry out creation, preservation and dissolution.
