Maṅgala Aṣṭaka is a Hindu mantra sung at Marathi weddings.[citation needed] Mangala Astaka also refers to eight-line verses recited as a blessing in Poruwa, the Sinhalese Buddhist marriage ceremony.[1]
Hindu mantra
[edit]It 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
Other verses are added, 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 ॥
