Sanskrit text

नारद उवाच — प्रणम्य शिरसा देवं गौरीपुत्रं विनायकम्। भक्तावासं स्मरेन्नित्यमायुःकामार्थसिद्धये

॥ १ ॥

प्रथमं वक्रतुण्डं च एकदन्तं द्वितीयकम्। तृतीयं कृष्णपिङ्गाक्षं गजवक्त्रं चतुर्थकम्

॥ २ ॥

लम्बोदरं पञ्चमं च षष्ठं विकटमेव च। सप्तमं विघ्नराजं च धूम्रवर्णं तथाष्टमम्

॥ ३ ॥

नवमं भालचन्द्रं च दशमं तु विनायकम्। एकादशं गणपतिं द्वादशं तु गजाननम्

॥ ४ ॥

द्वादशैतानि नामानि त्रिसन्ध्यं यः पठेन्नरः। न च विघ्नभयं तस्य सर्वसिद्धिकरं प्रभो

॥ ५ ॥

विद्यार्थी लभते विद्यां धनार्थी लभते धनम्। पुत्रार्थी लभते पुत्रान्मोक्षार्थी लभते गतिम्

॥ ६ ॥

जपेद्गणपतिस्तोत्रं षड्भिर्मासैः फलं लभेत्। संवत्सरेण सिद्धिं च लभते नात्र संशयः

॥ ७ ॥

अष्टभ्यो ब्राह्मणेभ्यश्च लिखित्वा यः समर्पयेत्। तस्य विद्या भवेत्सर्वा गणेशस्य प्रसादतः

॥ ८ ॥

इति श्रीनारदपुराणे सङ्कटनाशनगणेशस्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णम्
