- इमं सुस्तवं प्रातरुत्थाय भक्त्या
- Whoever rises in the morning and recites this fine hymn with devotion
- पठेद्यस्तु मर्त्यो लभेत्सर्वकामान् ।
- that mortal obtains all desires.
- गणेशप्रसादेन सिध्यन्ति वाचो
- By Ganesha's grace speech succeeds,
- गणेशे विभौ दुर्लभं किं प्रसन्ने
- when the mighty Ganesha is pleased, what is hard to obtain?
The fruit of dawn recitation is mastery of true speech, which in Advaita means words aligned with the Self. When Ganesha is pleased, nothing needful remains distant, for the Lord of obstacles is also the opener of the path to freedom.
