|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||











Sage Kapila speaks “ I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Ganesha who is Vighnaraja, he eradicates all the obstacles of the worshiper, I shall repeatedly prostrate before Lord who creates impediments to people who are indifferent to him, I shall prostrate before supreme Lord who has wide and large ears, he symbolizes sky, he represents mind, sense organs and intellect of the living beings, he symbolizes threefold/dharma, Artha and Kama, he resides as soul in living beings, he fulfills all the desires of the worshiper, he is absolute Bhramam, he imparts the knowledge of Bhramam to worshiper, he represents greatest philosophies,  and vital energies, he is all pervading, he is Shakthiroopa who has initiated from Goddess Shakthi, he is Heramba who  illuminates the  soul with the knowledge of self, he is supreme bliss who represents Lord Mahavishnu, Shankara, and all the deities,  he is the leader of Ganas, he represents Karma/deeds in Karmayoga, Gnana in Gnanayoga, he is impartial, I shall repeated prostrate before Lambodhara who has pot sized belly, I shall repeatedly prostrate before  Ganadhyaksha who is the commander in chief of Ganas, he is perceivable to  virtuous people, he gets easily pleased with veneration and recitation of sacred hymns, he has various incarnations, he symbolizes supreme bliss, I shall repeatedly prostrate before supreme Lord who eradicates hopelessness, he symbolizes Yoga, I shall repeatedly prostrate before Ganesha who is Yogaroopa, Oh! Devesha, you are the provider of Shanthiyoga, he is the essence of Shanthiyoga, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you, how can I eulogize your endless glories? “ In this way,  Lord Gananatha was passionately praised by the illustrious Sage Kapila.


Lord Ganesha speaks, “ Oh! Mune,  I am highly pleased with the above sacred hymns composed with intense devotion in praise of me, which reveals  the highest of the wisdom,  capable to provide Yoga, Dharma, Arththa, Kama, Moksha ,  kindly ask for boon.”


Kapila replied “ Oh! Vighensha, kindly bless me with intense devotion at your lotus feet, Oh! Natha, you are precious gem Chinthamani, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you, kindly bless me with the knowledge of self.”


Sage Grithsamadha speaks “ Lord Gajanana was higly pleased to listen from his zealous devotee Sage Kapila, and blessed him with all that desired, later Ganasura who has stolen the precious gem Chinthamani from Sage Kapila was mercilessly killed by Ganesha.”
