संज्ञाध्यायः
सानंदंप्रणिपत्यसिद्धिसदनंलंबोदरंभारतींसूर्यादिग्रहमंडलंनिजगुरुंभक्त्याहृदब्जेस्थितम् ॥एषामंघ्रिसरोरुहस्मरणतोनानाविधाःसिद्धयःसिद्धिंयांतिलघुप्रयांतिविलयंप्रत्यूहशैलव्रजाः ॥ १ ॥
With joy I bow to Lambodara (Ganesha), the home of success. I bow to Sarasvati, to the circle of planets from the Sun on, and to my own teacher. With love I keep them all in the lotus of my heart. By remembering their lotus feet, many kinds of success come to fruit. Mountains of obstacles quickly melt away.
Simple meaning: I bow to Ganesha, Sarasvati, the planets and my teacher. Remembering them brings success and removes obstacles.
सद्भावाकलितंपदार्थललितंयोगांगलीलार्चितंश्रीमद्भागवतंशुकास्यगलितंयच्छ्रीधरस्वामिना ॥
As Shridhara made the Bhagavata clear, Ganesha makes this birth chart book clear in verse for astrologers.
यत्पूर्वंपरमंशुकास्यगलितंसज्जातकंफक्किकारूपंगूढतमंतदेवविशदंकुर्वेगणेशोस्म्यहम् ॥
Ganesha makes an old, short and hidden birth chart text clear in verse. It brings fame, happiness and wealth.
भूयांसःसंतिभूमौनिजपरमधियाशालिनःकाव्यगुंफेसंख्यावंतस्तथापिप्रचुरपरगुणानंदलीलांभजंते ॥
Many poets are wise, yet they enjoy the merits of others. Like the great sea, the great keep their limits.
