Let him continuously worship in his mind the son of Gauri,Vinaayaka the refuge of his devotees, for attainment of

longevity, desires and wealth

First, as the one with the twisted trunk;Secondly, as the one with the single tusk.Thirdly, as the one with dark brown eyes;

Fourthly, as the one with the elephant's mouth.Fifthly, as the one with the belly like a pot;

Sixtly, as the grotesque one.Seventhly, as the king of obstacles;Eighthly, as the smoke-colored one.Ninthly, as the moon-crested one;

Tenthly, as the remover of obstacles.Eleventhly, as the lord of all,

Twelfthly, as the elephant-faced one.

Whoever repeats these twelve names at dawn,noon and sunset, there is no fear of failure,

nay, constant fortune. He who desires wisdom,obtains wisdom; he who desires wealth,

obtains wealth. He who desires sons, obtains sons;he who desires liberation attains liberation.

Whoever chants this hymn to ganapati reacheshim in six months, and in one year he reaches

perfection, there is no doubt about this.Whoever makes copies of this and distributesthem to eight Brahmana, he reaches wisdomimmediately, due to the grace of Ganesha.

Namaste Saraswati! O effulgent Sarada, worshipped in the city of Kashmir (substitute yourcity's name here). I pray to you everyday. Please give the pure knowledge. 1

You are faith, memory, intelligence, the divinity of speech, the spouse of Creator Brahmaa. Yougrace the devotees' speech, you are the bestower of inner peace, and all other excellences. 2

I prostrate Yamini, one who is forbearance herself, who has her ears decorated with streaks ofsparkling knowledge; who is Bhavaani, who is a river of nectar that extinguishes

the torments of worldly life. 3.

Constant salutations to you, O Mother Beneficient! You are the one who exists everywhere as aflow of knowledge originating from the Veda, the auxiliary branches of Veda, Upanishads,

and all other forms of Learning. Salutations to you again. 4

Prostrations to that Vani who is the supreme spirit, who is the divine light, who is The EternalBeing, and who is the presiding deity of all learning. 5

Prostrations to Sarasvati, Without who, the whole world would appear dead (even thoughliving). And who is the presiding deity of knowledge. A person is as good as dead without the

learning, Sarasvati. That is the import. 6

Prostrations to Vani, without whom the whole world would appear dumb and demented;who is the presiding deity of speech. 7.
