Comments:

This Kriti is in the second Vibhakti

On the advice of Narada, Krishna worshipped Ganesha to rid himself of the undeserved
disrepute he acquired when the Syamantaka gem was lost.

The fourth day of the moon in Bhadrapada (August-September) is Vinayaka Chaturthi, the day
of Ganesha’s birth
