त्रयो वयं सुरवरा यथापूज्या जगत्त्रये॥ तथायं गणनाथश्च सकलैः प्रतिपूज्यताम्॥२१॥

O great gods, just as we three are worshipped in all the three worlds, so also he shall be worshipped by all of you.

english translation

वयं च प्राकृताश्चायं प्राकृतः पूज्य एव च ॥ गणेशो विघ्नहर्ता हि सर्वकामफलप्रदः ॥२२॥

We are the offsprings of primordial nature. He is also the same and hence worthy of worship. He is the remover of all obstacles and the bestower of the fruits of all rites.

english translation

एतत्पूजां पुरा कृत्वा पश्चात्पूज्या वयं नरैः ॥ वयं च पूजितास्सर्वे नायं चापूजितो यदा॥२३॥

He shall be worshipped first and we shall be worshipped afterwards. If he is not worshipped, we too are not worshipped.

english translation

अस्मिन्नपूजिते देवाः परपूजाकृता यदि ॥ तदा तत्फलहानिः स्यान्नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ २४ ॥

If the other deities are worshipped when he is not worshipped, the fruit of that rite will be lost. There is no doubt in this matter.

english translation

ब्रह्मोवाच ॥ इत्युक्त्वा स गणेशानो नानावस्तुभिरादरात् ॥ शिवेन पूजितः पूर्वं विष्णुनानु प्रपूजितः ॥२५॥

After saying this we worshipped him. Śiva worshipped Gaṇeśa with various articles of worship.
