Based on a special request, I am posting this beautiful composition again, but along with meaning of the words For simplicity and ease of reading, I am mentioning the line numbers. I have tried my level best to get the meaning of this from various words Hindi Dictionaries. In case of any error or wrong meaning may Lord Ganesh Forgive me!

Second, a few sites that give the words, have major errors, (search for 'gananayakaya' on the net) breaking words where they should not, very ambiguous and incorrect transliteration. It is important to know the correct words, for it enhances the essence of devotion, and brings about further change of heart, than just mumbling on a nice melody/music. I could not find any good rendering of just the words, what to say of meaning. Easeus todo backup portable drive. Hope this post, fills that void. गणनायकाय गणदेवताय गणाध्यक्षाय धीमहि । गुणशरीराय गुणमण्डिताय गुणेशानाय धीमहि । गुणातीताय गुणाधीशाय गुणप्रविष्टाय धीमहि । एकदंताय वक्रतुण्डाय गौरीतनयाय धीमहि । गजेशानाय भालचन्द्राय श्रीगणेशाय धीमहि ॥ For the one who is - (common to all the adjectives/names of gaNesha) - - gaNa-nAyaka = leader of the गण gaNa (^1), gaNa-devatA = divine god of the people, gaNa-adhyakSha = representative of the people, dhImahi = meditate (^0). - guNa-sharIra = embodiment of गुण guNa (^2), guNa-maNDita = one adorned with गुण guNa, guNa-IshAna = lord of the गुण guNa, meditate.
