Mahyancha thenaiva kruthatha roopo,
Bhavami bhakthee rasalala soham 84
Oh Ganesha, please bless me with happiness, of the mind, trouble free life and great strength and I who am a glutton for your blessings, would become contended and happy.
Ya yetham manasee poojam karishyati narothama,
Patishyathi sada sopi ganapathyo bhvishyathi 85
That great man who does this mental worship of Ganesha, or always reads it, will become dear to Lord Ganesha.
Sravishyathi yo marthya sroshyathe bhava samyutha,
Sa kramena maheepala brahma bhootho bhavishyathi 86
He who hears it or make others hear it with devotion, eventually becomes like a king and attains salvation.
Yam yamichathi tham tham vai saphalam thasya jayathe,
Anthe swanandaga sopi yogi vandhyo bhavishyathi 87
That man will get whatever he desires, reach the state of eternal happiness, and become one fit to be saluted by sages.
