Those well-known ones are merely heard of here; it is no wonder. What is a wonder here, O lord of gaṇas, is that they are indeed your own!
Those who constantly cultivate your pair of feet enjoy an abundance of sons, grandsons, wealth, and grain.
Having their lotus-feet honored by hosts of many servants, they obtain pure Fortune that is the enjoyment of kings.
You are the cause of the supreme causes of causes; you alone are forever to be known by knowers of the Veda.
You are that which is to be sought by the primal words, O divine form of the moving and unmoving, beyond the range of words!
The Vedas do not know you according to reality, nor even Brahmā and the others, O stage-manager of the moving and unmoving!
You alone destroy, protect, and create everything; who can describe you in praise, [you who are] ungraspable even by the mind?
I destroy the Daityas, headed by Andhaka and Jalandhara in ancient times, who were struck down by the arrows of your baleful glance;
who in this world has the power to desire to accomplish even a trifling success-granting work without you?
This verbal root 'ḍhuṇḍh' is renowned in the sense of 'searching'; because of your having searched for all aims, your name is Ḍhuṇḍhi.
What embodied soul can even obtain entrance into Kāśī without your pleasure, O Vināyaka, O Ḍhuṇḍhirāja?
O Ḍhuṇḍhi, the man dwelling in Kāśī who, having first bowed before your lotus-feet, bows down to me—
approaching the root of his ear, I previously grant [him] that something by which he does not experience rebirth here.
A man, having first bathed at Maṇikarṇikā, his pair of feet dusted, quickly with his garments on,
and having satisfied the gods, seers, mortals, and ancestors, and reached the Jñānoda tīrtha, should then worship you.
Having thoroughly propitiated [you] with multitudes of fragrant modakas, with excellent incense and lamps, with garlands abundant in perfume and ointments,
and then praising me who am capable of granting the fruit of the city of Kāśī—who, O Ḍhuṇḍhi, does not attain perfection here?
And then, even if proceeding without due order, accomplishing the other tīrthas through the glances of your compassion here,
