इस स्त्रोत में नारद जी, श्री गणेश जी के अर्थ स्वरुप का प्रतिपादन करते हैं. नारद जी कहते हैं कि सभी भक्त पार्वती नन्दन श्री गणेशजी को सिर झुकाकर प्रणाम करें और फिर अपनी आयु , कामना और अर्थ की सिद्धि के लिये इनका नित्यप्रति स्मरण करना चाहिए. श्री गणपति जी के सर्वप्रथम वक्रतुण्ड, एकदन्त, कृष्ण पिंगाक्ष, गजवक्र, लम्बोदरं, छठा विकट, विघ्नराजेन्द्र, धूम्रवर्ण, भालचन्द्र, विनायक, गणपति तथा बारहवें स्वरुप नाम गजानन का स्मरण करना चाहिए. क्योंकि इन बारह नामों का जो मनुष्य प्रातः, मध्यान्ह और सांयकाल में पाठ करता है उसे किसी प्रकार के विध्न का भय नहीं रहता, श्री गणपति जी के इस प्रकार का स्मरण सब सिद्धियाँ प्रदान करने वाला होता है. इससे विद्या चाहने वाले को विद्या, धन की कामना रखने वाले को धन, पुत्र की इच्छा रखने वाले को पुत्र तथा मोक्ष की इच्छा रखने वाले को मोक्ष की प्राप्ति होती है. इस गणपति स्तोत्र का जप छहः मास में इच्छित फल प्रदान करने वाला होता है तथा एक वर्ष में पूर्ण सिद्धि प्राप्त हो सकती है इस प्रकार जो व्यक्ति इस स्त्रोत को लिखकर आठ ब्राह्मणों को समर्पण करता है, गणेश जी की कृपा से उसे सब प्रकार की विद्या प्राप्त होती है.
