Shendur Lal Chadhayo Meaning in English:

I offer red sindoor (vermillion) to the magnificent and good-looking God with the head of an elephant. I bow to the son of Gauri, who is seated in all glory, with his large belly. He holds a laddoo made out of gur (jaggery) in his hands. His glory is such, that words fall short while explaining it. Hail to you, the king of ganas. All victory be yours, Shri Ganesha, the bestower of knowledge and happiness. When I think about you, my mind gets completely engrossed in you, and your darshan gives me a lot of pleasure. Victory to you Oh Lord! Victory to you Oh Lord!

You are the one who grants eight kinds of powers and repels all kinds of troubles and dangers. You are the all auspicious authority and remover of all obstacles. Your appearance is just like millions of suns are shining together. Your cheeks and forehead are as resplendent as the moon itself. Hail to you, the king of ganas. All victory be yours, Shri Ganesha, the bestower of knowledge and happiness. When I think about you, my mind gets completely engrossed in you, and your darshan gives me a lot of pleasure. Victory to you Oh Lord! Victory to you Oh Lord!

You are so kind, that if anyone seeks your shelter with a pure heart and purpose, he attains everything be it wealth or lineage, which is much more than his expectations. Such is your personality, oh king of kings, that I am enamored by your looks. And it is you, in whose praise Gosavinandan, sings songs daily.
