I bow at the feet of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-faced God who lovingly accepts offerings of fruits, appam, flattened rice and puffed rice.
He dwells in the minds of sincere devotees who seek knowledge. Like the divine wish-fulfilling Karpaga tree, He grants worthy desires and quickly removes the effects of past karma.
He is the son of Lord Shiva, who wears the datura flower and the crescent moon upon His head. He possesses broad and powerful shoulders and the majestic strength of a mighty elephant.
He has a large belly resembling a drum and is the noble son of Goddess Parvati. I worship Him with fragrant, fully blossomed flowers.
He is the supreme Lord who first wrote the wisdom of the three forms of Tamil—literature, music and drama—upon Mount Meru.
He is the matchless hero who broke the axle of the chariot used by Lord Shiva when He destroyed the three demon cities.
When Lord Murugan was troubled in the millet field while seeking the love of Valli, Ganesha appeared in the form of an elephant and frightened her.
Through this divine play, He helped Valli, the maiden of the hunter community, unite in marriage with the youthful Lord Murugan. I bow before that compassionate and glorious Lord Ganesha.
