You have emerged from Parvati’s uptan,
She gave you structure and infused life, satiating her motherly inclination.
Your adorable form is the fruition of her pious meditation.
The cascading luminance defining your profound prodigy,
Uma addresses you as Ganapati, the chieftain of ganas, who are Shiva’s attendees.
Your bulged, adorable figure made Uma’s tender heart leap in ecstasy.
To solitary Uma, you served as a fortified sentinel,
Guarding the facade of his mother’s citadel.
Even Lord Shiva was vigorously denied entry by Ganapati,
For he can’t comply even for a fly to permeate against his mother’s authority.
But the fiery Rudra unknowingly beheaded Ganu and his intemperate audacity.
Little was Shiva’s acumen that Ganu was Ma Parvati’s most winsome effigy.
Born with the effulgence of penilune, a divine mother’s tender strategy.
It’s now Rudra’s turn to encounter Rudrani’s blazing rage,
“If you don’t retrieve my Ganesha’s life, I shall parch every object.”
Rudra, being baffled by Rudrani’s boiling wrath, commanded his ganas to stride ahead
The first animal facing north to acquire its head.
Ganu’s head was retrieved by an elephant’s head to hear wise and render gnostic aphorisms.
Whereby Shiv, Shivani and Ganesha shall build an invincible fortification.
