श्री गणेशाय नमः॥

नारद उवाच ।

श्री गणेशस्य कवचं संस्मृत्य प्रवदाम्यहम् ।पुत्रप्रदं सर्वसिद्धिदं सर्वविघ्नविनाशनम् ॥1॥

प्रणम्य शिरसा देवं गौरीपुत्रं विनायकम् ।अस्य देवस्य कवचमाद्यं देवारिदुर्जयम् ॥2॥

नारायणेन कथितं पुरा ब्रह्मणे धीमता ।यत्स्मृतं श्रुतं वापि सर्वकार्यप्रसाधकम् ॥3॥

गणेशः पातु मां पूर्वे दक्षिणे सिद्धिदायकः ।नैरृत्यां मे गणाधीशो वारुण्यां विघ्ननाशनः ॥4॥

वायव्यां पातु वक्रतुण्डो ह्युत्तरे गणनायकः ।ऐशान्यां पातु हेरम्ब उपरि लम्बोदरस्तथा ॥5॥

अधः पातु महाकायो मध्ये विघ्नेश्वरस्तथा ।आग्रे पातु सदाबुद्धिः पृष्ठे विघ्नहरी मम ॥6॥

पार्श्वयोः पातु मां देवो मुखे लक्ष्मीविनायकः ।सर्वाङ्गे पातु सततं वैनायकी महाद्युतिः ॥7॥

धनप्रदो गणपत्तिस्तथा पातु महाबलः ।रात्रौ सन्ध्यासु सततमुषसि प्रत्यूषके तथा ॥8॥

सर्वकार्येषु सर्वत्र मां पातु मङ्गलाधिपः ।एतत्कवचं पुण्यं सर्वपापहरं परम् ॥9॥

यः पठेच्छृणुयान्नित्यं गणराजस्य भक्तितः ।न भयं जायते तस्य यतो गणेशस्तत्रगः ॥10॥

इति श्री नारदपुराणे श्री गणेश कवचम् सम्पूर्णम् ॥
