The Ganesha Pancharatnam is a stotra composed by Adi Sankara in the 8th century on Ganesha.[1] Ganesha is referred to as Vinayaka in the strota, and the title itself can be translated as "The five jewels in praise of Sri Ganesha".[2] The five jewels are the first five verses, while the sixth verse implores the listener to themselves read or recite the strota and tells them the resulting benefits.[3]
The strota is set in Adi in thisranadai, or eight beats in units of three.[4]
