“Oṃ gāṃ gīṃ gūṃ gaiṃ gauṃ gaḥ”—inilah mahāmantra bersuku kata tujuh. Untuk mantra Oṃ-Gaṇapati: Gaṇaka adalah ṛṣi (resi penyingkap); Vighneśvara adalah devatā; ‘gaṃ’ adalah bīja; ‘oṃ’ adalah śakti. Penerapannya untuk pūjā, japa, membuat tilaka, mencapai tujuan yang diinginkan dalam batin, dan untuk homa. Mula-mula sādhaka hendaknya membuat tilaka; lalu di atas tilaka letakkan butir beras suci sambil mengucap: “Oṃ gāṃ gaṇapataye namaḥ.” Dengan mantra ini persembahkan tiga genggam bunga kepada Gaṇeśa; dan dengan mantra pokok persembahkan cendana, wewangian, bunga, dupa, pelita, naivedya, pinang, buah, sirih, dan sebagainya. Sesudah itu lakukan japa dengan mantra pokok—108, 1.000, 100.000, bahkan satu krore—menurut kemampuan; lalu lakukan homa sepersepuluh bagian, mengundang api Gaṇeśa dengan ucapan “gaṇeśāgnaye āvāhayāmi.” Dengan mantra “Oṃ gāṃ gaṇapataye svāhā,” persembahkan pelet guggulu ke dalam api. Inilah tata-ritus Gaṇeśvara. Barang siapa menekuni mantra utama ini di tengah segala rintangan, semua halangan lenyap dan tujuan yang diidamkan pun tercapai.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating (deduced); mantra-kalpa instruction within the narrative
Tirtha: Gaṇeśvara (Vighneśvara) worship (non-site-specific)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Practitioner/audience
Scene: A complete ritual tableau: the seven-syllable mantra written as radiant bīja-syllables; the sādhaka applies tilaka, places akṣata, offers three flower-handfuls, performs upacāras before a Gaṇeśa image, then conducts a small homa with guggulu pellets, flames rising as obstacles symbolically crumble away.
FAQs
Gaṇapati is invoked as Vighneśvara: disciplined mantra-practice joined with worship and homa removes obstacles and grants success.
No single tīrtha is praised; the passage functions as a practical ritual manual (kalpa) for Gaṇeśa worship.
Tilaka with akṣata, flower offerings, upacāras, japa counts (108 to higher), and a one-tenth homa using guggulu pellets with “oṃ gāṃ gaṇapataye svāhā.”
