with the host of afflictions that destroy his own welfare removed far away, O Ḍhuṇḍhi, he will obtain the complete fruit here in Kāśī.
He who daily bows to you, Ḍhuṇḍhivināyaka, in Kāśī at dawn, having the entire multitude of obstacles destroyed,
for him no object existing on the surface of the earth is ever difficult to attain, either here or in the hereafter.
He who recites your name, 'Ḍhuṇḍhivināyaka'—truly the eight perfections recite him daily in their heart.
Having enjoyed various pleasures fit to be enjoyed by the gods, he is embraced at the end by the fortune that is liberation.
He who, even while dwelling far away, remembers day after day your footstool, O Ḍhuṇḍhirāja, granter of all perfections,
will obtain the complete, fruitful benefit of dwelling in Kāśī; it is not otherwise, for my word is never false.
I know that you stand here in diverse forms in order to destroy countless obstacles in many ways,
O noble one, for the sake of this sacred field.
Whatever forms are yours, and wherever they are, O sinless one,
those I shall proclaim in that place; let these denizens of heaven listen!
First, you are Ḍhuṇḍhirāja, slightly to my right;
having searched out, you bestow all desires upon all devotees.
Those by whom, on reaching a Tuesday fourth lunar day here, various worship was offered to you with multitudes of delightful modakas, with perfumes and garlands—
those I make my own sons here, O Ganeśa, along with the gaṇas!
Those who worship you on every fourth lunar day here, O Ḍhuṇḍhi, their minds deeply resolute, they alone are fortunate;
placing their left foot upon the head of all misfortunes, O elephant-faced one, they fully attain the nature of Gajānana.
Those who, devoted to the vow of eating at night, worship you on the fourth day of the bright fortnight of Māgha, O Ḍhuṇḍhi,
shall be worshipful even to the enemies of the Asuras.
Having performed the annual pilgrimage on reaching the fourth day, [which is] dedicated to ascetics,
during the bright fortnight, bound with white sesamum seeds, the observer of the vow should eat sweetmeats (laḍḍukas).
The pilgrimage should be performed with effort by those who desire the perfection of the sacred field,
