Ganapati Stotram

अगजानन-पद्माकं गजाननम्-अहर्निशम्।
अनेकदंतं भक्तानाम् एकदन्तम्-उपास्महे ॥१॥
agajānana-padmākaṃ gajānanam-aharniśam.
anekadantaṃ bhaktānām ekadantam-upāsmahe ..1..
As the rays from the lotus-face of Gauri (Devi Parvati) is always on her beloved son Gajanana (Who has the face of an Elephant),
Similarly, the grace of Sri Ganesha is always on his devotees; Granting their many prayers; the devotees who with deep devotion worship the Ekadanta ( Who has a single tusk).

शुक्लांबरधरं विष्णुं शशिवर्णं चतुर्भुजम्।
प्रसन्नवदनं ध्यायेत् सर्व-विघ्नोपशान्तये ॥२॥
śuklāmbaradharaṃ viṣṇuṃ śaśivarṇaṃ caturbhujam.
prasannavadanaṃ dhyāyet sarva-vighnopaśāntaye ..2..
We meditate on Sri Vishwaksena, who is wearing white clothes, who is all-pervading, who is bright in appearance like the moon and who is having four arms, who is having a compassionate and gracious face; Let us meditate on him to ward of all obstacles.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय कोटिसूर्य-समप्रभ ।
अविघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्व-कार्येषु सर्वदा ॥३॥
vakratuṇḍa mahākāya koṭisūrya-samaprabha .
avighnaṃ kuru me deva sarva-kāryeṣu sarvadā ..3..
Salutations to Sri Ganesha, who has a curved trunk, who has a large body and whose splendour is similar to million suns; O deva, please make my undertakings free of obstacles, by extending your blessings in all my work, always.

गजाननं भूत-गणाधिसेवितं
कपित्थ-जम्बू-फलसार-भक्षकम्। जलगाकन
उमासुतं शोकविनाश-कारणं
नमामि विघ्नेश्वर-पाद-पङ्कजम्॥४॥
gajānanaṃ bhūta-gaṇādhisevitaṃ
kapittha-jambū-phalasāra-bhakṣakam. jalagākana
umāsutaṃ śokavināśa-kāraṇaṃ
namāmi vighneśvara-pāda-paṅkajam..4..
I reverentially salute the lotus-feet of Sri Vigneshwara. One who is having the face of an elephant, one who is served by the Bhutaganas (celestial attendants) and others, by whom is partaken the juice of kapittha (wood-apple) and jambu (rose-apple) fruits (offered by the devotees); Who is the son of devi Uma (devi Parvati), and the cause of the destruction of sorrows, I reverentially salute the lotus-feet of that Vighneshwara (the lord who removes the obstacles).
