In plain words
With the digit of the moon shining on His crown, with matted locks glistening in their beauty, with the sparkle of the heavenly river flowing in the locks, with the splendid eye on His forehead, with a neck as dark as the dark rose-apple, with a serpent bangle on His hand, with the serpent's skin wound round His waist, with sacred ash smeared all over His body, with the large kuṅkuma mark drawn on His brow, with lips red with tāmbūla, delighting in the six śāstras, with ear-rings set in bright gold, mocking the dark lilies and plundering their beauty, with a gleaming body of dusky hue:
“It is in you that the intelligence is greater, greater even than Mine, though I bear such a body as this. So let them perform Gaṇapati's pūjā before Śiva's pūjā. I give you this boon with love,” He said. Īśvara is the father who gave such a son a place higher than His own. So Gaṇapati is no ordinary principle. He is the very body that holds all energies. He is the very form that holds all intelligence. Sarasvatī dwells in His very belly. Wherever He is, no change of any kind can come. The place of such a Gaṇapati is the place that is the very form of every aiśvarya. Not only this: whatever work you begin after praying to Gaṇapati, no obstacles at all arise for that work. Today many people of fortune, the wealthy, the learned and the virtuous perform Gaṇapati's pūjā. Students too, so that they may become worthy of Sarasvatī's grace and no hindrance of any kind may arise in their studies, place all their books before Vināyaka and worship.
