Sri Ganesha stotram ......

'Whosoever mutters the hymn to Ganapati reaches his aim in six months, and in a year reaches perfection, on this point there is no doubt.'

Sri Narada uvaca:

1. Pranamya sirasa devan gauriputram vinayakam
bhaktavasam smaren nityam ayus kamartha siddhaye

2. Prathamam vakratundam ca ekadantam dvitiyakam
trtiyam Krsna pingaksam gajavaktram caturthakam

3. Lambodaram pancamam ca sastam vikatam eva ca
saptamam vighnarajam ca dhumravarnam tathastamam

4. Navamam phalacandram ca dasamam tu vinayakam
ekadasam ganapatim dvadasam tu gajananam

5. Dvadasaitani namani trisandhyam yah pathen narah
na ca vighnabhayam tasya sarvasiddhi karam param

6. Vidyarthi labhate vidyam dhanarthi labhate dhanam
putrarthi labhate putran moksarthi (moksama-apnuyat)*

7. Japet Ganapati stotram sadbhir masaih phalam labhet
samvatsarena siddhim ca labhate natra samsayah

8. Astabhyo brahmanebhyas ca likhitva yah samarpayet
tasya vidya bhavet sarva Ganesasya prasadatah

iti sri narada purane samkastanasana -
ganesa stotram sampurnam
