[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=4) Here, pleased with Agastya's worship, Vighneswara declared a special boon.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=18) You need to recite just four names here.

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=20) Go to Ganapati, or go, stand there, say them, and as you come out, if you think, “Many people will be left behind,” before descending the steps, stop and say just four names.

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=32) What should you say? Gajananari. That is, the enemy of the demon, the ogre with an elephant's face.

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=40) Gajanana means one with an elephant's face, and ari means enemy.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=54) The third— at least, it needn't be a name, just say it like this and that's enough.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=58) Third, whoever those supreme devotees may be, their...

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=68) While reciting these three names, when describing His form and the place He came from, Salutations to the one who dwells in the depths of the netherworld.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=79) Salutations to the one in the deep recesses of the netherworld, or of the earth, Salutations to the one who resides in the deep recesses of the earth.

[1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=85) The deep recesses of the earth are places found when you go underground.

[1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=89) Those going there should recite these four names.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=92) At least near the temple, these four names should be posted on a board, for those who don't know.

[1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mdNrCqD3HRB8/en/four-names-to-recite-at-srikalahasti-s-pathala-ganapati-temple?t=98) If there is one, visitors can recite those four names then descend the steps and praise Vighneswara.
