Translation

“ga” အက္ခရာသည် အစ-ရုပ် (ပူဝရူပ) ဖြစ်သည်။ “a” အက္ခရာသည် အလယ်-ရုပ် (မဓျမရူပ) ဖြစ်သည်။ anusvāra သည် အဆုံး-ရုပ် ဖြစ်သည်။ bindu သည် ထို့နောက် (အထက်) ရုပ် ဖြစ်သည်။ nāda သည် ဆက်စပ်ရာ ဖြစ်ပြီး၊ saṃhitā သည် sandhi ဖြစ်သည်။ ဤသည်ပင် ဂဏေရှ-ဗိဒ္ဓာ (Gaṇeśa-vidyā) ဖြစ်သည်။

Academic Translation

The letter ‘ga’ is the prior form; the letter ‘a’ is the middle form; the anusvāra is the final form; the bindu is the subsequent (higher) form; nāda is the junction; saṃhitā is the sandhi. This indeed is the knowledge (vidyā) of Gaṇeśa.
