Ganesha Slokam

Agajaanana Padmaarkam 
Gajaananam Aharnisham
Aneka Dam Tam Bhaktaanam 
Eka Dantam Upasmahe

Agaja = Parvati
Aanana = face
Padma = lotus flower
Arkam = sun
Gaja = elephant 
Aananam = face/faced 
AhaH = day 
Nisham = night 
Aharnisham = day & night (all the time or round the clock) 
Aneka = more than one / multiple 
Dam = giver 
Tam = you/your 
Bhaktaanaam = to the devotees 
Eka = single or one 
Dantam = tooth (tusk since it is an elephant) 
Upasmahe = I meditate upon; 


Meaning:  Seeing the elephant-faced Ganesha all the time, Goddess Parvati's face lighted up, just like how a lotus opens up seeing the sun and I meditate upon the Lord with single tusk, the giver of many boons to the devotees.
