Ganeshu-II:

Last verses of description of Ganesh:

Akara charana yugula,
Ukara udara vishal,
Makara mahamandala,
Mastakaakare [19]

He tinhi ekvatale,
Tetha shabdabrahma kavalale,
Te miya shri gurukrupa namile,
Aadhibeeja [20]

Meaning:
“A” represents pair of legs,
“U” is big belly,
“M” is large round of head
These three are unified,
And an eternal symbol is formed (A+U+M=omm),
I bow above it … so are the blessings of my Guru,
It is the seed of everything that exists.

"U" postfix used by Dnyaneshwar for some words like "GaneshU", "ParimalU" gives
an innocent cuteness to the words!!
