“Shendur lal chadhayo achchha gajmukhko, dondil lal biraje sut gauriharko |

Hath liye gudladdu sai survarko, mahima kahe na jay lagat hoo padko ||

Jai jai shri ganraj vidhyasukhdata, dhanya tumara darshan mera man ramata |

Ashto siddhi dasi sankatko bairi, vignavinashan mangal murat adhikari ||

Koti surajprakash aisi chhabi teri, gandasthala madmastak jhoole shashihari |

Jai jai shri ganraj vidhyasukhdata, dhanya tumara darshan mera man ramata ||

Bhavbhagat se koi sharanagat ave, santat santat sabhi bharpur pave |

Aise tum maharaj moko ati bhave, gosavinandan nishidin gun gave ||

Jai jai shri ganraj vidhyasukhdata, dhanya tumara darshan mera man ramata ||
