Mantra
Devanagari:
मुदाकरात्त मोदकं सदा विमुक्ति साधकम्
कलाधरावतंसकं विलासिलोक रक्षकम्
अनायकैक नायकं विनाशितेभ दैत्यकम्
नताशुभाशु नाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम्
Transliteration:
Mudakaratta Modakam Sada Vimukti Sadhakam
Kaladharavatamsakam Vilasiloka Rakshakam
Anayakaika Nayakam Vinashitebha Daityakam
Natashubhashu Nashakam Namami Tam Vinayakam
Translation:
He who joyfully holds the sweet modaka in His hand and always bestows liberation,
Who wears the crescent moon as a crown and protects the playful universe,
The sole supreme leader of those without a protector and destroyer of the elephant demon,
I bow to that Lord Vinayaka who swiftly destroys the inauspiciousness of His devotees.
