Mangala Ashtaka

Maṅgala Aṣṭaka is a form of Mantra which is sung at the marriage ceremony in Maharashtra.

It always starts with the Aṣṭavināyaka Vandana, which is as follows:


 * Svasti Śrī Gaṇanāyakam Gajāmukham Moreśvara Siddhidam Ballalam Murudum
 * Vināyaka Maham Cintamanim Thevaram | Lenyadrim Girijātmājam Suvaradam
 * Vighneśvara Ojhāram Grāme Ranjananamake Gaṇapatiḥ
 * Kūryāt Sadā Maṅgalaṃ

There can be many other verses in between based on the number of enthusiastic singers present in the wedding ceremony. The last verse is always:
 * tadeva lagnaṁ sudinaṁ tadeva tārā-balaṁ candra-balaṁ tadeva ।
 * vidyā-balaṁ daiva-balaṁ tadeva lakṣmīpateḥ te'ṁghriyugaṁ smarāmi ॥!


 * तदेव लग्नं सुदिनं तदेव ताराबलं चंद्रबलं तदेव ।
 * विद्या बलं दैवबलं तदेव लक्ष्मीपतेः तेऽङ्घ्रियुगं स्मरामि ॥
