Thanks Lakshmanji.

Some corrections::

ananta guNa kalyANa *bhUSaNa* dEvi shArada *dAsa* vandita

[Rajani]

Here is a translation. Corrections/additions are welcome :

vishvAdhipatE - O Lord of the Universe
vidyAdhipatE - O Lord of all knowledge
vivEkAdhipatE - O Lord of discernment
vijaya gaNapatE - O Victorious Ganesha!
sUtrahAra - O One wearing the sacred thread! ( Not too sure here )
gaNAdi sEvita - O One saluted by the Shiva-Ganas
sura sEvita - O One saluted by the gods
hara shankara suta - O Son of Shiva
aSTa siddhi vara pradAyaka _ O giver of the eight Siddhis as boons
AdimUla - O Root cause (of the universe)!
trilOka pAlaka - O Protector of the three worlds!
ananta guNa kalyANa bhUSaNa - O One adorned by countless auspicious attributes/virtues!!
dEvi shArada dAsa vandita - O One worshipped by the servant of goddess Sharada!

[aaaaabbbbb]

Rajani, you are right, *sUtra* is the sacred thread..

Thanks for the nice translation.

[rshankar]

Rajani: excellent!
Isn't sUtra used in a similar context in this verse: mUSika vAhana mOdaka hasta, cAmara karNa vilamita sUtra - to indirectly describe a big belly (long sUtra)...?

[VK RAMAN]

Vilambita - hanging down

[Rajani]

Thank you!
Ravi - I am fairly sure Sutra does not mean belly. Vilambita sutra only means hanging, long sacred thread ( possibly because he is Vamana Rupa!)

Savitriji - I was unsure because of "haara" which means garland. I think it should be dhara or dhaara. I think Sutra-dhaara would also make sense as He being the director of this world.

[aaaaabbbbb]

Rajani

Your explanation is right.

Thank you.

[rshankar]

Ravi - I am fairly sure Sutra does not mean belly.

I meant it meant a long/overhanging sacred thread (not belly) - needed to go across his pendulous belly...
