Mangal Ashtaka
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Maṅgala Aṣṭaka is a form of Mantra which is sung at the marriage ceremony in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka.
It always starts with the Aṣṭavināyaka Vandana, which is as follows:
- Svasti Śrī Gaṇanāyakam Gajāmukham Moreśvara Siddhidam Ballalam Murudum
- Vināyaka Maham Cintamanim Thevaram | Lenyadrim Girijātmājam Suvaradam
- Vighneśvara Ojhāram Grāme Ranjananamake Gaṇapatiḥ
- Kūryāt Sadā Maṅgalaṃ
There can be many other verses in between based on the number of enthusiastic singers present in the wedding ceremony. The last verse is always:
- tadeva lagnaṁ sudinaṁ tadeva tārā-balaṁ candra-balaṁ tadeva ।
- vidyā-balaṁ daiva-balaṁ tadeva lakṣmīpateḥ teṁghṛ'yugaṁ smarāmi ॥!
- तदेव लग्नं सुदिनं तदेव ताराबलं चंद्रबलं तदेव ।
- विद्या बलं दैवबलं तदेव लक्ष्मीपतेः तेंघ्रिऽयुगं स्मरामि ॥
