Poetry Marathon- hour 1

A prayer to Lord GaNESa to remove all obstacles, in Sankethi language, set to the vasantatilaka metre

appOdu nAmiDara hejjehaLathayUmE
appA gaNESa unakarpaNa paNNaNAme
tappAde sAgipi sadA nudivuLLe OmE
heppaNDamella aLahE ira bEDaNAmE

ಅಪ್ಪೋದು ನಾಮಿಡರ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಹಳಥ್ನಯೂಮೇ
ಅಪ್ಪಾ ಗಣೇಶ ಉನಕರ್ಪಣ ಪಣ್ಣಣಾಮೇ
ತಪ್ಪಾದೆ ಸಾಗಿಪಿ ಸದಾ ನುಡಿವುಳ್ಳೆ ಓಮೇ
ಹೆಪ್ಪಂಡಮೆಲ್ಲ ಅಳಹೇಯಿರ ಬೇಡಣಾಮೇ ||

Always, every step we take, O gaNESa, are dedicated to you. Without fail, lead us to completion, fill our words with “Om” and may the universe fill with beauty. This is what we pray for!
