Mushika Vahana
mūṣikavāhana modakahasta
मूषिकवाहन मोदकहस्त चामरकर्ण विलम्बितसूत्र । वामनरूप महेशवपुत्र विघ्नविनायक पादनमस्ते ॥
mūṣikavāhana modakahasta cāmarakarṇa vilambitasūtra । vāmanarūpa maheśavaputra vighnavināyaka pādanamaste ॥
Meaning
You who ride the mouse, holding a sweet modaka, with whisks for ears and the sacred thread trailing, small in form yet son of Maheshvara — O remover of obstacles, I bow at your feet.
Why recite it
A tender morning verse for children and families, welcoming Ganesha into the day.
