Tamil Lyrics

காப்பு ... வாரணத் தானை ... விநாயகர்

வாரணத் தானை யயனைவிN NOரை மலர்க்கரத்து
வாரணத் தானை மகத்துவேன் Rஎ்ன்மைந் தனைத்துவச
வாரணத் தானைத் துணைநயந் தானை வயலருணை
வாரணத் தானைத் திறைகொண்ட யானையை வாழ்த்துவனே.

உண்ணா முலையுமை மைந்தா சரணம் பரருயிர்சேர்
உண்ணா முலையுமை மைந்தா சரண மருணைவெற்பாள்
உண்ணா முலையுமை மைந்தா சரணந் தனமுமொப்பில்
உண்ணா முலையுமை மைந்தா சரணங் சரணுக்கே.

English Meaning

God Vinayaka, you are the older son of God Sivan who punished the stubborn Takkan for continuing his illegitimate religious sacrifice. All the Gods in the Hindu pantheon have worshipped God Sivan: These include Indiran, the rider of the white elephant, Iravatham; Piraman, the celestial beings (thevar); and Vishnu who holds the conch in his lotus-like hands.

Vinayaka, you are the divine elephant God who defeated the terrible gayamkua asuran in Tiruvannamalai, a town rich in fertile fields.

You are also the beloved brother of God Murukan, who victoriously carries the flag on which the figure of cock is inscribed. I bow down to you for the success of this book.

God Vinayaka, your complexion is as dark as that of the mighty ocean in which Tirumal, the God protecting the mullai landscape in which cows and their suckling calves are reared, sleeps on the snake bed. You are the leader who destroyed the asuras hiding in the salty ocean that normally protect the world. The fear of the celestial beings (thevar) was thus alleviated. Your mother, Uma Devi is noted for her graciousness, beauty, chastity, big breasts and long eyes that are as sharp as the arrow. She resides peacefully in Tiruvannamalai, the abode of the fire God Agni who rides the goat. Lord Ganapathi, I surrender to you and seek your help.
