Meaning: (Approximate):

P: I pray (“bhajEham”) to shri mahAgaNapatim, who is the son (“Atmajam”) of Shiva, and the elder brother (“Agrajam”) of Shanmugha.

A: He is worshipped (“sEvitam” by all beings (“shrta gaNa”). He destroys (“nAshakam”) obstacles (“vighna”) in our lives. He gives (“dAyakam”) boons (“vara”) and blessings (“prasAda”) very quickly (“shIgra”).

C1: He is adorned (“Alankrtam”) by the symbol (“mudrA”) called Knowledge (“jnAna”). He resides in (“nivAsinam”) the mUlAdhAra chakra ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muladhara) kshetra in the body.

C2: He lives (“vAsinam”) in the forest (“AraNya”) full of elephants (“gaja-AraNya”). He is full (“mayam”) of brightness (“jyOtir-mayam”). He is the essence (“sAram”) of the Upanishads. He is the soul (“Atmakam”) of the pancha bhutas {Akasha (Spirit/Essence), Vayu (Air), Agni (Fire), Ap (Water), and Prithvi (Earth)}. He likes (“priyam”) the SindhUra (red powder, Vermillion). He is the five (“panca”) elephant (“mAtanga”) faced (“mukham”) one (“panca-mAtanga mukham”)

C3: He was born (“vara putram”) when Goddess Parvathi’s (“kAmEsha”) lovely eyes (“nayanA”) merely glanced with pleasure (“AhlAdakam”) at Lord Shiva, the linga adorned with snakes (“nAga-linga”). He is the essence (“cit-prabhAnanda”) of the Shri Vidya and revered by (“sannutam”) the rAja Yogis (“yOgIndram”).  {Alt meaning: cit-prabhAnanda is also the signature of the composer, who is also a king (rAja), and who prays to the lord }
