Need meaning of this sloka (on Lord Ganesh)

[avnipriya]

I found this sloka preceded the song Mahaganapatim manasa smarami
Anybody give me word-by-word meaning,please.

vande gaNesham bhujagendra bhUSHaNam
samastabhaktALikRtAtitoSHaNam
vishvambharAsamsthitalokarakSHaNam
madIyapApaughatamassupUSHaNam

and vighnastomAdripavim, I want to know what does pavim means, is it verb ?

[keerthi]

vande gaNesham bhujagendra bhUSHaNam
samastabhaktALikRtAtitoSHaNam
vishvambharAsamsthitalokarakSHaNam
madIyapApaughatamassupUSHaNam


vande - I revere
gaNesham - Ganesha

bhujagendra bhUSHaNam - who has snakes as his ornaments [1]

samasta-bhaktALi-kRta-ati-toSHaNam - who is greatly pleased by the ministrations of his devotees ;

vishvambharA-samsthita-loka-rakSaNam - who protects (all) the people that inhabit this (earthly) world;

and

madIya-pApaugha-tamas-supUSHaNam - who is like a sun to the darkness thas is the the mass of my sins.

and vighnastomAdripavim, I want to know what does pavim means, is it verb ?

vighna = obstacles

stOma = horde

adri = mountain

pavim - lightening bolt/ indra's vajrAyudhaM

it means one who is like a bolt of lightening that can break up the mountain that is the horde of impediments.

could you give the complete verse which has this line please..?

Need meaning of this sloka :
vande gajendravadanam vAmAmkArUDhavallabhAshliShTam .
kumkumarAgashoNam kuvalayinIjArakorakApIDam

and I can't make out this line :

Help me please.

:'(

[keerthi]

vande gajendravadanam vAmAmkArUDhavallabhAshliShTam .
kumkumarAgashoNam kuvalayinIjArakorakApIDam

vandE gajEndra-vadanam vAmAnkArUDha-vallabhAshliSTaM|.
kumkuma-rAga-shoNam kuvalayinI-jAra-korakApIDam ||

vandE - I salute
gajEndravadanam - the Elephant-headed (deity)
vAma-anka-ArUDha-vallabhA-ashliSTaM - embraced by his consort, seated on his left lap [1]

kumkuma-rAga-shONam - One who is of a complexion ruddy like vermilion.

kuvalayinI-jAra-kOraka-ApIDam - One who has as a crest-jewel the young (crescent) moon. [2]

shritatatessusiddhipradam

shrita - Those who have sought refuge {= sharaNAgata}
tatEH - the multitude, {= bRndaM/ bRndasya}
su-siddhi - success
pradaM - bestower

i.e - One who endows his votaries with excellent success.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes -
[1] It is significant to note here that a spouse always sat on the left lap, while a child/ grandchild/ children in law(!) sat on the rifght lap/ thigh. the story of pratIpa-shantanu-GangA will endorse this.

[2] kuvalayinIjArakorakApIDam - this was a real teaser, and my transaltion is based on some pretty obscure meanings of words used here. I give here a list of translations of each term in the compound word, and exhort other rasika-s to trey and make out a better translation of the samAsa -

the first meaning is the most common one, followed by obscure meanings.

kuvalaya = water lily; hence kuvalayini (a lA pushkarinI/ kamalini = a place where lilies abound or the group of lilies) Also earth.

jAra = lover /paramour (kuvalayinI-jAra hence could be the moon, since moonrise entails blossoming of lilies)

kOraka = bud; fibres/ filaments of the lotus; fragrance (moon-kOraka i.e moon bud for a sliver of the moon, a la pinju-madi in tamizh)

ApIDa = crush/ massage; wreath/ tiara / chaplet tied to one's crown
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

p.s -
Why not post the request in a new thread, avnipriya?
It may show up better in future searches...

Also, when you have a line that may be doubtful, give us the full verse, (and maybe indicate the line that need explanation)

This will -
1. Help the translators
2. Help people who may search for the same thing in the future.

Thank you very much, Keerthi.

This is full sloka :
gaNeshvaramupAsmahe gajamukham kRpAsAgaram
surAsuranamaskRitam suravaram kumArAgrajam |
supAshasRNimodakasphuTitadantahastojjvalam
shivodbhavamabhIShTadam shritatatessusiddhipradam ||

because I can make out all words, except "shritatatessusiddhipradam".
next time I will post the full sloka, hope it would be helpful to everyone.
