							   Jai Ganesh Girija Suvan   Mangal Mul Sujan 1  Kahat Ayodhya Das   Tum Dey Abhaya Varadan 2    Victory to Ganesh son of Girija,  Who is the root cause of all that is good,  Ayodhya Das you requests for boon of fearlessness.    Jai Girija Pati Dinadayala  Sada Karat Santan Pratipala 3  Bhala Chandrama Sohat Nike   Kanan Kundal Nagaphani Ke 4     Victory to the consort of Girija,  Who is very kind to the oppressed,  You always bless the saints,  Wear the baby moon on forehead,  And wear the snake’s hood as ear studs.    Anga Gaur Shira Ganga Bahaye   Mundamala Tan Chhara Lagaye 5  Vastra Khala Baghambar Sohain   Chhavi Ko Dekha Naga Muni Mohain 6    His body is fair and Ganges flows from his head,  He wears a garland of skulls and smears ash on his body,  He wears the hide of lion on his waist,  And seeing his pretty form the Naga sages are enchanted.    Maina Matu Ki Havai Dulari   Vama Anga Sohat Chhavi Nyari 7  Kara Trishul Sohat Chhavi Bhari   Karat Sada Shatrun Chhayakari 8    The darling daughter Of Maina,  On your left side adds to your beauty,  With trident in hand and wearing skin of lion,  You always destroy your enemies.    Nandi Ganesh Sohain Tahan Kaise   Sagar Madhya Kamal Hain Jaise 9  Kartik Shyam Aur Gana rauo   Ya Chhavi Ko Kahi Jata Na Kauo 10    You are with Ganesh and Nandi,  And look like the lotus flower in the middle of the sea.  You have with you the dark Karthikeya and Ganesh,  And who can describe this great scene.    Devan Jabahi Jaya Pukara   Tabahi Dukha Prabhu Apa Nivara 11   Kiya Upadrav Tarak Bhari   Devan Sab Mili Tumahi Juhari 12    When the Devas called for victory,  Oh Lord, you swept away their sorrow,  When Tharakasura filled them with troubles,  All the devas got your generous help.    Turata Shadanana Apa Pathayau  Luv nimesh Mahi Mari Girayau 13  Apa Jalandhara Asura Sanhara   Suyash Tumhara Vidit Sansara 14    With haste you sent to them the six faced God,  Who within no time destroyed him,  Then you killed the asura called Jalandhara,  And your fame spread all over the world.    Tripurasur Sana Yudha Machai  Sabhi Kripakar Lina Bachai 15   Kiya Tapahin Bhagiratha Bhari   Purahi Pratigya Tasu Purari 16    You then waged war against Tripurasura,  And with great mercy on all gods,  The king Bhagirath undertook great penance,  And you helped him to fulfill his vow.    Darpa chod Ganga thabb Aayee   Sevak Astuti Karat Sadahin 17  Veda Nam Mahima Tav Gai   Akatha Anandi Bhed Nahin Pai 18    Then the Ganga came down leaving her house,  And your devotees sing your praise always.  Even Vedas tried to sing your praise,  But Oh, primeval limitless one,  It did not succeed in its effort.    Pragati Udadhi Mantan te Jvala   Jarae Sura-Sur Bhaye bihala 19  Mahadev thab Kari Sahayee,   Nilakantha Tab Nam Kahai 20    Out of the churning of the ocean came the flame,  Of poison which made devas and Asuras greatly scared,  And then you as Mahadev swallowed the poison,  And then you were called the blue necked one.    Pujan Ramchandra Jab Kinha   Jiti Ke Lanka Vibhishan Dinhi 21  Sahas Kamal Men Ho Rahe Dhari   Kinha Pariksha Tabahin Purari 22    Then Lord Ramachandra worshipped you,  And won Lanka and gave it to Vibheeshana,  He wanted to worship thee with thousand lotus,  And Oh, Lord you decided to test him.     Ek Kamal Prabhu Rakheu goyee  Kushal-Nain Pujan Chahain Soi 23  Kathin Bhakti Dekhi Prabhu Shankar   Bhaye Prasanna Diye-Ichchhit Var 24    Oh Lord you hid one of those lotus flowers,  And Lord Rama instead gave one of his lotus like eyes,  Seeing the great devotion, You Lord Shankar,  Were delighted and granted him the desired boon.    Jai Jai Jai Anant Avinashi   Karat Kripa Sabake Ghat Vasi 25  Dushta Sakal Nit Mohin Satavai   Bhramat Rahe Man Chain Na Avai 26    Victory, victory to you limitless, deathless one,  Shower your grace on all, Oh omniscient one,  I am being troubled by evil thoughts always,  And I am distressed and have no peace of mind.    Trahi-Trahi Main Nath Pukaro   Yahi Avasar Mohi Ana Ubaro 27   Lai Trishul Shatrun Ko Maro   Sankat Se Mohin Ana Ubaro 28    Help me, help me, I call you Lord,  And I request your blessing just now,  Bring your trident and kill my enemies,  And free me from all these sorrow.    Mata Pita Bhrata Sab Hoi   Sankat Men Puchhat Nahin Koi 29  Swami Ek Hai Asha Tumhari   Ai Harahu Ab Sankat Bhari 30    I have mother, father, brothers and others,  But when I am in distress nobody enquires,  Oh Lord, I have only you left as hope,  Please remove this heavy sorrow from me.    Dhan Nirdhan Ko Deta Sadahin  Arat jan ko peer mitaee, 31  Astuti Kehi Vidhi Karai Tumhari   Shambhunath ab tek tumhari 32    Oh Lord You always give wealth to those who are poor,  And you wipe away their difficulties,  Except you I do not know any one else,  Oh Shambhunath, please hear my prayer to you.    Shankar Ho Sankat Ke Nashan   Vighna Vinashan Mangal Karan 33  Yogi Yati Muni Dhyan Lagavan   Sharad Narad Shisha Navavain 34    Oh Lord Shankar, you are the destroyer of sorrows,  And also remover of obstacles and giver of good,  Sages seers and great ones meditate on you,  And even Saraswathi and sage Narada bow before you.    Namo Namo Jai Namah Shivaya   Sura Brahmadik Par Na Paya 35  Jo Yah Patha Karai Man Lai   To kon Hota Hai Shambhu Sahai 36    Salutation, salutations, victory and salutations to Lord Shiva,  Even Gods and Brahma could not describe you  He who with devotion recites this prayer,  Would without doubt be helped by Shamboo.    Riniyan Jo Koi Ho Adhikari   Patha Karai So Pavan Hari 37  Putra-hin Ichchha Kar Koi   Nischaya Shiva Prasad Tehin Hoi 38    He who recites this with intense love,  Becomes rich by the grace of the lord.  He who desires for a Son,  Would get one surely by grace of Shiva.    Pandit Trayodashi Ko Lavai   Dhyan-Purvak Homa Karavai 39  Trayodashi Vrat Kare Hamesha   Tan Nahin Take Rahe Kalesha 40    He who brings the priest on thirteenth day of moon,  And conducts fire sacrifice with devotion,  And observes the penance of the thirteenth moon,  Would get peaceful mind and healthy body.    Dhupa Dipa Naivedya Charhavai   Anta Vasa Shivapur Men Pavai 41  Kahai Ayodhya Asha Tumhari   Jani Sakal Dukha Harahu Hamari 42    He who worships him with light and incense,  Would at the end live in the city of Shiva,  Ayodhya Prasad wishes to you,  Long life and eternal bliss.    Nitya Nema kari Pratahi   Patha karau Chalis 43  Tum Meri Man Kamana   Purna Karahu Jagadish 44    After doing the days regular duty,  I recite these forty verses with devotion,  Oh Lord of the universe, please fulfill,  All the desires of my mind.
