English Translation

O Devas, may we hear with our ears what is auspicious. May we see with our eyes what is auspicious and sacred. With strong limbs and healthy bodies, may we praise the Divine and live the full span of life given to us for divine purpose.

May Indra of great glory bless us with well-being. May Pūṣan, the knower and nourisher of the whole universe, bless us. May Tārkṣya, whose wheel is unharmed and who protects from misfortune, bless us. May Bṛhaspati, the lord of sacred wisdom, establish well-being in us.

Om. Peace in the forces beyond us, peace in the world around us, and peace within us.

Translation

Om. Salutations to you, Gaṇapati. You alone are the directly perceivable Reality, the very Tattva. You alone are the doer. You alone are the sustainer. You alone are the one into whom everything is finally withdrawn. Truly, all this universe is Brahman, and you are that Brahman. You are directly the eternal Ātman itself.

Protect me from behind, from the front, from the north, from the south, from above and from below. Protect me completely from every direction.

tvaṃ jñānamayo vijñāna̍mayo̱’si || 4 ||

You are the essence of speech. You are pure consciousness. You are of the nature of bliss. You are filled with Brahman and are Brahman itself. You are the non-dual Sat-Cit-Ānanda — existence, consciousness and bliss. You are directly Brahman. You are both Jñāna, spiritual knowledge, and Vijñāna, realised and discriminative knowledge.

Transliteration with Svara

sarvaṃ jagadidaṃ tva̍tto jā̱yate |
sarvaṃ jagadidaṃ tva̍ttasti̱ṣṭhati |
sarvaṃ jagadidaṃ tvayi la̍yame̱ṣyati |
sarvaṃ jagadidaṃ tvayi̍ pratye̱ti |

tvaṃ bhūmirāpo’nalo’ni̍lo na̱bhaḥ |
tvaṃ catvāri vā̎kpadā̱ni || 5 ||

Translation

This whole universe arises from you. This entire universe is sustained in you. This whole universe finally dissolves into you, and from you it again comes forth.

You are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. You are also the four levels of Vāk, the four stages through which speech and consciousness express themselves.

Sanskrit with Vedic Svara

त्वं गु॒णत्र॑याती॒तः ।
त्वं अवस्थात्र॑याती॒तः ।

Translation

You are beyond the three Guṇas — Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. You are beyond the three states of consciousness — waking, dream and deep sleep. You are beyond the three bodies — gross, subtle and causal. You are beyond the three divisions of time — past, present and future.

You are eternally established in Mūlādhāra. You are the essence of the three Śaktis. Yogis meditate upon you constantly.

You are Brahmā. You are Viṣṇu. You are Rudra. You are Indra. You are Agni. You are Vāyu. You are Sūrya. You are Candra. You are Brahman itself — Bhūḥ, Bhuvaḥ, Suvaḥ and Om.

oṃ gaṃ gaṇapataye̱ nama̍ḥ || 7 ||

Translation

This section explains the mantra-form of Gaṇapati. The sound beginning with ga, followed by the appropriate vowel and completed with Anusvāra, is adorned by the crescent-like sign and perfected through the higher sound.

This is your mantra-form. Ga is its first form. A is its middle form. Anusvāra is its concluding form. Bindu is its higher form. Nāda is the joining principle, and Saṃhitā is their complete union.

This is Gaṇeśa Vidyā. Gaṇaka is the Ṛṣi. Nicṛd-Gāyatrī is the metre. Śrī Mahāgaṇapati is the Devatā.

Om Gaṃ Gaṇapataye Namaḥ.

मन्त्र ८ — गणपति गायत्री

Translation

Meditate upon Gaṇapati as One-Tusked and four-armed, holding the Pāśa and Aṅkuśa, holding the broken tusk and showing the boon-giving gesture, with the mouse as his emblem.

He is red in appearance, large-bellied, with broad winnowing-fan-like ears, clothed in red garments, his limbs anointed with red fragrance and worshipped with red flowers.

He is compassionate towards his devotees, the divine cause of the universe, imperishable, manifest at the beginning of creation and beyond both Prakṛti and the individual Puruṣa.

One who meditates upon him in this manner regularly becomes a Yogi of the highest order among Yogis.

मन्त्र १० — नमस्कार मन्त्र

Sanskrit with Vedic Svara

नमो व्रातपतये ।
नमो गणपतये ।
नमः प्रमथपतये ।

Translation

Salutations to the Lord of the hosts. Salutations to Gaṇapati. Salutations to the Lord of the Pramathas.

Salutations to the Large-Bellied One, the One-Tusked One, the destroyer of obstacles, the son of Śiva and the divine form who grants blessings. Again and again, salutations.

फलश्रुतिः — PHALAŚRUTI

मन्त्र ११ — अथर्वशीर्ष अध्ययन का फल

Sanskrit with Vedic Svara

एतदथर्वशीर्षं॑ योऽधी॒ते ।

sa pāpī̍yān bha̱vati |

sahasrāvartanādyaṃ yaṃ kāma̍madhī̱te |
taṃ tamane̍na sā̱dhayet || 11 ||

Translation

One who studies this Atharvaśīrṣa becomes fit for the state of Brahman. Such a person is not overcome by obstacles and grows in well-being. He becomes freed from the five great sins.

When it is studied in the evening, the sins committed during the day are destroyed. When studied in the morning, the sins committed during the night are destroyed. One who practises it both morning and evening becomes purified from sin.

One who studies it wherever he may be becomes free from obstacles. He obtains Dharma, Artha, Kāma and Mokṣa.

This Atharvaśīrṣa should not be given to an unqualified or unprepared disciple. One who gives it through delusion to an unfit recipient becomes involved in demerit.

Through a thousand repetitions, the particular intention upon which the sādhaka concentrates may be accomplished through this practice.

मन्त्र १२ — अभिषेक, वाणी और विद्या

Sanskrit with Vedic Svara

Translation

One who performs Gaṇapati Abhiṣeka while reciting this becomes accomplished in speech.

One who observes fasting on Caturthī and performs its Japa becomes endowed with Vidyā.

This is the declaration of Atharvan. One who understands the Brahma-vidyā and its protective principle expressed here does not remain overcome by fear.

मन्त्र १३ — दूर्वा, लाज, मोदक और हवन

Sanskrit with Vedic Svara

यो दूर्वाङ्कु॑रैर्य॒जति ।

One who worships with a thousand Modakas obtains the desired fruit.

One who performs the prescribed fire offering with ghee and Samidh obtains the desired attainments. The text repeats: he obtains all; he obtains all.

Translation

One who properly teaches this sacred knowledge to eight Brāhmaṇas becomes radiant like the Sun.

One who performs its Japa during a solar eclipse, beside a great sacred river, or in the presence of the consecrated image of Gaṇapati attains Mantra-siddhi.

He becomes freed from great obstacles, great faults, great sins and serious spiritual or ritual transgressions.

He becomes a knower; indeed, he becomes one who possesses complete knowledge.

One who knows it in this way knows the teaching. Thus ends the Upaniṣad.
