Title of the post is start of masterpiece by Dnyaneshwar- “Bhavaartha-Deepika Teeka”, a commentary on Bhagwad-Geeta. Also called as “Dnyaneshwari”.
Om namoji aadya,
ved pratipadya,
Jay-jay swasamvedya,
aatmaroopa [1]
Deva tuchi ganeshu,
sakal mati prakashu,
Mhane nivrutti daasu,
avadhariroji [2]
Meaning:
I bow above the eternity (one that existed even before universe ever came into existence- aadi=before),
described by Vedas (/known by getting knowledge about everything),
The one, which was self-conscious (swa-samvedya),
which had selfness [1]
Oh God, (I know you as/) you are Ganesh,
who gives light to everyone,
(I,) the servent (/student) of NivruttiNaath describes you,
may everyone listen [2]
Also, check out the rhyme patterns in the verses. 1st 3 lines in each verse rhyme (dya-dya-dya).
4th line is single word which may not rhyme. This pattern is followed in all 10,000 verses of Dnyaneshwari.
