Meaning:
I meditate on the supreme GaNapati who is worshipped by sages like VasishTha, vaamadEva and others.
He, the son of Lord MahaadEva, is adored by Guruguha and shines with the brilliance of crores of Cupids. He is the tranquil one and exults in the literary pieces like poems and dramas. He is fond of Modaka, a variety of sweet, and has a mouse for a mount.
