These have symbolic meanings representing the ‘ganas’ of prosody, and the letters and sounds of ‘akara”anuswara’ of the language and the ‘sandhis’ (letter combinations) of the grammar. The sage of this hymn is ‘ganaka’, its meter is ‘nichRidgAyatrI’ and the presiding deity is ‘Ganapati’. I salute to the letter/sound ‘gaM’. The mantrabIja gaꣳ with (ಮ್+ as ardhachandrabinduvirAma) is described as the true form of Ganapati! This part is giving the deeper Vedic meaning of the mantrabIja gaꣳ and is called the ganeshavidya.

It has the nature of a ᳚puzzle᳚. One group says ᳚ekadantAya vidmahe᳚ – we know someone called ᳚ekadanta᳚ (do you know what we mean?), the other group responds ᳚vakratuNDAya dhImahi᳚ we think of him as ᳚vakratuNDa᳚. Now they both agree that they are talking of the same God, so together they say ᳚tanno dantI prachodayAt᳚ – may he, dantI, invigorate us!

Now for the fruits from reading this hymn:
The reader becomes equal to Brahma . He attains all happiness and is released from the five great sins . If one reads in the evening one is absolved of the sins committed during the day, if read in the morning the sins of the night are washed away, if read both times, one is totally absolved of all sins, read anywhere one is freed from all obstacles, one
attains all the 4 objectives (Dharma, artha, kAma mokSha), one should not, however, teach this to the undeserving student, if done so through infatuation, the teacher will become a sinner, read 1000 times, one achieves whatever is desired for.
