Narada Uvacha
Sri Narada says:

Pranamya Shirasa Devam Gauri Puthram Vinayakam,
Bhaktavasam Smaren Nithyam Ayuh Kamartha Siddaye

With head bowed, let me unceasingly worship in my mind the god Vinayaka, the son of Gauri, the refuge of his devotees, for the complete attainment of longevity, amorous desires and wealth.

Prathamam Vakrathundam Cha Ekadantham Dvithiyakam
Thrithiyam Krishna Pingaaksham Gajavakthram Chaturthakam

Firstly, as the one with the twisted trunk. Secondly, as the one with the single tusk. Thirdly, as the one with the fawn colored eyes. Fourthly, as the one with the elephants mouth,

Lambodaram Panchamam Cha Shashtam Vikatameva Cha
Sapthamam Vighnarajendram Dhoomravarnam Thathashtamam

Fifthly, as the pot-bellied one, Sixthly, as the monstrous one, Seventhly, as the king of obstacles, Eighthly, as the smoke colored one

Navamam Balachandram Cha Dashamam Thu Vinayakam
Ekadasham Ganapathim Dwadasham Thu Gajananam

Ninethly, as the moon crested one, Tenthly, as the remover of hindrances, Eleventhly, as the Lord of the hordes, Twelfthly, as the one with the elephants face.

Dwadashaitani Namani Thrisandhyam Yah Paten Naraha
Na Cha Vighna Bhayam Thasya Sarvasiddhi Karam Prabho

Whosoever repeats these twelve names at dawn, noon and sunset, for him there is no fear of failure, nay, there is constant good fortune.

Vidyarthi Labhate Vidyam Dhanarthi Labhate Dhanam
Puthrarthi Labhate Puthram Moksharthi Labhate Gathim

He who desires knowledge obtains knowledge. He who desires sons gets sons. He who desires salvation obtains the way.

Japeth Ganapathi Stotram Shadbhir Masaihe Phalam Labheth
Samvatsarena Siddhim Cha Labhate Nathra Samshayaha

Whosoever mutters the hymn to Ganapati reaches his aim in six months, and in a year reaches perfection, on this point there is no doubt.

Ashtabhyo Brahmanebhyash Cha Likhitwa Yah Samarpayeth
Thasya Vidya Bhavet Sarva Ganeshasya Prasadathaha
Whosoever makes eight copies of it, and has them distributed to as many brahmans, he reaches knowledge instantaneously, by the grace of Ganesh.

Ithi Shri Narada Purane Sankashtanashanam Namashri Ganapathi
Stotram Sampoornam
