सर्वसिद्धिमवाप्नोति रुद्रलोके महीयते। न निःस्वतां तथाभ्येति सप्तजन्मसु मानवः
He attains all accomplishments and is honored in the world of Rudra; in seven births, a man does not fall into poverty.
य इदं पठते नित्यं महाराजो भवेन्नरः। वश्यं करोति त्रैलोक्यं पठनाच्छ्रवणादपि। स्तोत्रं परं महापुण्यं गणपस्य महात्मनः
Whoever recites this daily becomes a great king among men; by reciting or even hearing this supreme, highly meritorious hymn of the great-souled Gaṇapati, he brings the three worlds under his control.
इति श्रीपाद्मपुराणे प्रथमे सृष्टिखंडे गणपतिस्तोत्रं नाम-चतुष्षष्टितमोऽध्यायः
Thus ends the sixty-fourth chapter, called 'The Hymn to Ganesha,' in the first section (Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa) of the glorious Padma Purāṇa.
व्यास उवाच-। नांदीमुखेषु सर्वेषु पूजयेद्यो गणाधिपम्। तस्य सर्वो भवेद्वश्यः पुण्यं भवति चाक्षयम्
Vyāsa said: Whoever worships the Lord of the Gaṇas at all auspicious beginnings, all things come under his control, and his merit becomes inexhaustible.
गणानां त्वेति मंत्रेण सर्वयज्ञघटेषु च। सर्वसिद्धिमवाप्नोति स्वर्गं मोक्षं लभेन्नरः
By reciting the mantra 'gaṇānāṃ tvaṃ' at all sacrificial vessels, a person attains all accomplishments, and gains both heaven and liberation.
मृण्मये प्रतिमायां च चित्रे चाथ दृषण्मये। द्वारदारुणि पात्रे च हेरंबं लेखयेद्बुधः
A wise person should depict Heraṃba (Ganesha) in a clay image, in a painting, in a stone form, at the doorway, on wood, or on a vessel.
अन्यस्मिन्नपि देशे तु सततं दृष्टिगोचरे। स्थापयित्वा तु हेरंबं शक्त्या यः पूजयेद्बुधः
Even in any other place, if one establishes Heraṃba always within sight and worships him to the best of one's ability, being wise—
तस्य कार्याणि सिद्ध्यंति दयितानि समंततः। न विघ्नं जायते किंचित्त्रैलोक्यं वशमानयेत्
All his cherished undertakings succeed on every side; no obstacle arises at all, and he brings the three worlds under his sway.

One seeking wealth obtains abundant riches, a virtuous and lovely wife, prosperity achieved through righteousness, and a son who brings liberation to the family.
न रोगैः पीड्यते कश्चिन्न ग्रहैः प्रेतयोनिभिः। शृंगिभिर्नापि रक्षोभिर्विद्युद्भिर्वनतस्करैः
No one is afflicted by diseases, planets, spirits, horned beasts, demons, lightning, or forest thieves.
न राजा कुप्यति गृहे न च मारी प्रवर्तते। न दौर्भिक्ष्यं न दौर्बल्यं पूजयित्वा विनायकम्
The king does not become angry in the house, pestilence does not arise, nor famine or weakness, for one who worships Vināyaka.
अभिप्रेतार्थसिद्ध्यर्थं पूजितो यः सुरैरपि। सर्वविघ्नछिदे तस्मै गणाधिपतये नमः
For the accomplishment of desired aims, even the gods worship him; I bow to that Lord of the Gaṇas, remover of all obstacles.
मंत्रश्चायं ॐ नमो गणपतये। नारायणप्रियैः पुष्पैरन्यैश्चापि सुगंधिभिः। मोदकैः फलमूलैश्च द्रव्यैः कालोद्भवैस्तथा
This is the mantra: 'Oṃ namo gaṇapataye.' With flowers dear to Nārāyaṇa, and other fragrant ones, with sweetmeats, fruits, roots, and offerings appropriate to the season—
दधिदुग्धैः प्रियैर्वाद्यैरपि धूपसुगंधिभिः। पूजयेद्गणपं यस्तु सर्वसिद्धिमवाप्नुयात्
With curds, milk, beloved musical instruments, and fragrant incense, whoever worships Gaṇapati attains all accomplishments.

देशे च भारते वर्षे वनिता पूर्वसन्निधौ। लौहित्यदक्षिणे तीरे लिंगरूपो विनायकः
In the land of Bhārata, in the presence of women, on the southern bank of the Lauhitya, Vināyaka is present in the form of a liṅga.
हरगौरीसमादेशाद्देवानां संमतेन च। स्थितो लोकप्रशांत्यर्थं सर्वविघ्नविनाशनात्
By the command of Hara and Gaurī, and with the approval of the gods, he is established for the peace of the world, as the destroyer of all obstacles.
पूजयित्वा तु तं देवं शक्तितो द्रव्यसंचयैः। विनायकत्वमाप्नोति वेदशास्त्रार्थपारगः
Having worshipped that god with whatever offerings one can, one attains the state of Vināyaka and mastery of the meaning of the Vedas and scriptures.
सकृत्प्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा दृष्ट्वा स्पृष्ट्वा तु मानवः। अक्षयं लभते स्वर्गं सदा देवैः प्रपूज्यते
Having circumambulated once, having seen and touched him, a person attains inexhaustible heaven and is always honored by the gods.
संसर्गिणां च म्लेछानां गत्यर्थं सुतपस्विनाम्। पुत्रार्थं सर्वलोकानां तत्र शंभुर्विनायकः

कृत्वाभिषेकं लौहित्ये स्पृशेद्यस्तु गणाधिपम्। सप्तजन्मकृतात्पापान्मुच्यते नात्र संशयः
Whoever, after performing the consecration in the Lauhitya, touches the Lord of the Gaṇas, is freed from sins committed over seven births; there is no doubt about this.
न वैधव्यं न कार्पण्यं न शोकं न तु मत्सरम्। विनायकं समासाद्य जन्मजन्मनि संलभेत्
Neither widowhood, nor poverty, nor sorrow, nor envy is obtained, having approached Vināyaka, in birth after birth.
पुनः सिद्धिः पुनर्भोग्यं पुनः कीर्तिः पुनर्बलम्। पूजयित्वा तु गणपं नरस्य नात्र संशयः
Again comes success, again enjoyment, again fame, again strength; having worshipped the Lord of the Gaṇas, for a person there is no doubt.
अस्य पूजामकृत्वा च सर्वाभीष्टं विनश्यति। तत्र देवाश्च सुप्रीता ब्रह्मविष्णुहरादयः
Without performing his worship, all desired things are destroyed; there, the gods are well pleased—Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Hara, and others.
मघोनो गणपस्याथ पूजाविरहितस्य च। अथासुरैर्महावीर्यैर्हिरण्याक्षमुखै रणे
Of Maghavan, and of the Lord of the Gaṇas, and of one who lacks worship, then by the mighty demons, headed by Hiraṇyākṣa, in battle—
मघवा तु जितो वीर्याद्धिरण्याक्षेण वै तदा। ततस्सुराश्च निर्वीर्या यावद्वर्षशतं पुरा
Maghavan was then defeated by the strength of Hiraṇyākṣa; and thus the gods became powerless for a hundred years, long ago.
दैवासुरे महायुद्धे सुराणां च पराजयः। ततो देवाधिदेवे तु शिवे देवैर्निवेदितम्
In the great war between gods and demons, the defeat of the gods occurred; then, to Śiva, the lord of the gods, the gods reported.
भगवन्नसुरैर्नो हि जितं राज्यं गता मखाः। एतस्मिन्नंतरे शंभुर्देवान्वचनमब्रवीत्
"Lord, by the demons we have been conquered, the kingdom is lost, the sacrifices are gone." In that moment, Śaṃbhu spoke to the gods.
हेरंबाय वरो दत्त उमया प्रीतया मया। पूजया ते परा सिद्धिर्देवादीनां भवत्विति
"A boon was given to Heraṃba by Umā, pleased, by me: 'By your worship, supreme success shall come to the gods and others.'"
