Need help with Ganesh & Krishna shloka

Place to go if you want to ask someone identify raga, tala, composer etc or ask for sāhitya (lyrics) or notations or translations.

I don't know much about Sanskrit so this is my attempt for the right transliteration (welcome corrections).

nigamabRnda sarOruhasangatam
nikhilalOka madhusvasukhAtmakam
madhuripum pratilabya cha pallavi
madhukarA sukharam cha ....not sure....

Avnipriya - Hope this helps:

To get rid of (haraNAya) the darkness(timira) of obstacles(vighna),
one ought to think of (smartavyam) the indescribable(kimapi ), greatest(mahattamam), primal (Adyam) light (tejaH) that is the son(apatyam) of Parvati (himagiritanayA) and offspring(samuditaM) of Shiva who took the golden mountain Meru(hEmAchala) as his bow(cApa).

(Shiva's bow was Meru when he went to conquer the Tripuras)




girirAjasutA- sUnuH - The son of Parvati,
karirAjavarAnanaH - who has the face of the best of elephants,
paripanthigaNa-dhvaMsI - who destroys the bunch of obstacles,
virAjatE - shines forth
surasEvyO - (as) worthy of worship even by the Devas
