Translation:
 
Having recited the letter 'Ga', the first letter of
'Ganadim' in the beginning, then the first letter 'a' there-
after, the nasal sound "anuswār" denoted by the sign ''ं''
and after that the sound "ardhendu" denoted by the sign ँ
and together with the sacred syllable "Om", that is
Your mental image or form. In other words, 'Ga' is the
first part, 'a' is the second part, 'anuswār' is the end part
and 'bindu' is the last part, joined together with the 'nāda',
the sacred sound, 'Om'.
 
This is the Ganesha Vidyā of Ganaka Rishi written in
the Vedic metrical style for propitiating the Ganesha deity
