TRANSLATION
Ōm !
V. 1. May the face of Mahāgaṇapati, radiant with the (gold) dust diffused from the (mount)
Sumēru by his pounding at it with his jingling tusk, resonant with the (humming of the) bees
exhilarated by the ichor which (to them) is a fragrant wine, with its temples pierced by the din of
numerous war drums, bestow many blessings on you !5
V. 2. May those hands of Chaṇḍikā─dancing with (proper) gesticulation, having thoroughly
agitated the earth by the weight of her feet, (and) having dispelled the darkness by the flashes of
her nails glittering in the night bereft of moonlight─, that have annihilated the foes (and) that,
with the palms sportively tossed up, make the quarters appear to be extending offerings of lotus-flowers, shower prosperity on you !
V. 3. May the principal yaksha,Dhanada by name, of the hue of fully expanded blue water-lily, with his eyes producing spirituous intoxication, iridescent with the rays (emanating) from the
jewels in his diadem, having a yellow robe on (thus), resembling the cloud interspersed with
lightning and rainbow, confer affluence on you !
__________________________
[1] The right word would be amalē. The writer has evidently taken the word amala as a noun in the sense
of purity’ (na malam=amalam), and from that derived the adjective amalin ‘pure’. The metrical exigency
must have been responsible for this round-about expression.
[2]The intended reading seems to be prāpnōt=tv=atyarthaṁ. The elision of one of the two t’s before v may
be explained in the light of the form satva for sattva, as noticed above.
[3] The syllable dva looks more like dvṛi.
[4] See above, p. 31, n. 2.
[5] The god being Gajānana ‘Elephant-faced,’ the description naturally applies to an elephant-head.
