Om. Salutation to the Leader of the Gaṇas (gaṇa-nāyaka), Giver of the fruit of all accomplishments (siddhi-phala-dāyaka), Sunderer of ignorance and delusion (ajñāna-bhrānti-chedaka), [you] of the form of awakening (bodha-rūpa).

Fill my inner being; dwell there always; let me — though speech has been renounced (vāg-sannyāsa) — be made to speak, through your glance of grace (kṛpā-kaṭākṣa).

By describing Gaṇeśa's meditation-form (dhyāna), the light of intellect (mati-prakāśa) is kindled even for the deluded (bhrānta); by hearing the recital of his qualities (guṇānuvāda), Sarasvatī herself pours forth.
