Ek baar ki baat hai, ek garib aur drishtiheen budhiya thi. Unke saath unka beta aur bahu bhi rehte the. Budhiya hamesha Bhagwan Shri Ganesh ki puja karti thi. Ek din unki puja se prasann hokar Ganesh Ji prakat hue aur bole, "Budhiya maan! Tum meri bhakti mein lagi ho aur main tumse khush hoon. Kya tum mujhse kuch maangogi?"

Budhiya ne kaha, "Mujhe to maloom nahi ki main kya maangu, main to maangna nahi jaanti."

Ganesh Ji ne kaha, "To tum apne bete aur bahu se puchho ki main kya maangu, aur main kal phir aaunga aur tumhe wahi varadan doonga."

Mai ne apne bete se pucha, "Tumhare paas koi vichar hai ki main kya maangu?"

Beta ne kaha, "Maa, aap dhan aur daulat maang lo."

Bahu se pucha to usne kaha, "Saasu ji, hamari shaadi ko kaafi samay ho gaya hai, aur aapko naati chahiye, to kyun na hamein ek pota de den?"

Budhiya ne socha ki unke bete aur bahu ne apni matlab ki cheezein maangi hain, isliye vah apni padosan se bhi salah lene ke liye gayi, jo uski sakhi thi. Mai ne use bataya ki Ganesh Ji ne varadan dene ki kaha hai.

Mai ne apne padosino se pucha, aur unhone kaha ki vah dhan aur daulat maangenge, lekin maangne se kya fayda hai, tum apne liye aankhon ki roshni maang lo, taki tumhari zindagi aaram se bit sake.

Yah sunkar budhiya ne Ganesh Ji se kaha, "Agar aap mujhse prasann hain to mujhe nau karod ki maya, nirogi kaaya, amar suhaag, aankhon ki roshni, naati, pota, aur sabhi parivaar ko sukh dena, aur aakhiri mein mujhe moksh dena." Ganesh Ji ne kaha, "Budhiya maan! Tumne to mujhe thag liya, lekin mere vachan ke anusar tumhe jo kuch maanga hai, vah sab tumhe milega." Itna kehkar Ganesh Ji antardhan ho gaye. Budhiya ne jo kuch bhi maanga tha, use sab mil gaya. He Ganpati Bappa! Jaise tune us budhiya mai ko sab kuch diya, vaise hi hamein bhi apni kripa se aashirvadit karein.

He Ganesh Ji! Jaisa budhiya mai ne manga tha, vaise sabko dena.
