Meaning: (From T.K. Govinda Rao’s book)
I am protected (“paripaalithoham”) by Sri Ganapathi, with Five (“pancha”) handsome elephant-faces (“maatanga mukha”).
Who is the cause (“karana”) of the universe (“prapancha”) co-existing of the five elements (“bhootatmaka”). Who is revered (“nutena”) by Brahma (“Virinchi”), Vishnu (“Hari”) and Siva (“Rudra”). Who is the son (“sutena”) of Parama Siva of five (“pancha”) faces (“vaktra”).
Whose hands (“karena”) hold the symbol of ABHAYA and VARADA: the rope (“Paasha”), a goad (“Sruni”) a pothead (“kapaala”), tusk (“danta”) a Modaka sweet dish, MUDGARA and Rudraksha Maala. Who is established (“vihaarena”) in Kamalaapura — Tiruvaarur. He is worshipped (“poojitha”) by all the celestials (“deva”) beginning with Indra (“puruhuta”). He is the remover of obstacles (“vigneshwara”) and the brother (“sodharena”) of Guruguha, the distinguished one. He is handsome (“suruchira”) with pot-belly (“Lambodhara”). Who is renowned (“kauratharena”) for his compassion (“karunaana”) and who removes (“harana”) the sins (“mala”) of Kali.
