The learned one, who wishes,

For more life, wealth and love,

Should salute with his head,

Think him first as god with broken tusk,

Second as the Lord with one tusk,

And twelfth as the one who has the face of an elephant

Na cha vighna bhayam tasya, Sarvsiddhi karam param II 5 II

Any one reading these twelve names,

At dawn, noon and dusk,

Will never have fear of defeat,

And would always achieve whatever he wants

Vidhyarthi labhate Vidhyam, Danarthi labhate Dhanam

Putrarthi labhate Putran, Moksharthi labhate Gateem II 6 II

One who pursues education will get knowledge,

One who wants to earn money will get money,

One who wishes for a son, will get a son,

And one who wants salvation will get salvation

Japet Ganapati stotram, Shadbhirmasai phalam labheth

Samvatsarena sidhim cha, Labhate natra sanshaya II 7 II

Of Ganapati will be got within six months,

And within a year, he would get all wishes fulfilled,

And there is no doubt about this

In writing to Eight wise people,

And offers it to Lord Ganesha,
