Once Ganapati clears the directions, the deity one is worshipping can manifest itself there.
श्री गणेशाय नमः ।
(शान्तिमन्त्राः)
ॐ भद्रङ् कर्णेभिः शृणुयाम देवाः । भद्रम् पश्येमाक्षभिर्यजत्राः । स्थिरैरङ्गैस्तुष्टुवांसस्तनूभिः व्यशेम देवहितं यदायुः ।।
ॐ स्वस्ति न इन्द्रो वृद्धश्रवाः । स्वस्ति नः पूषा विश्ववेदाः । स्वस्ति नस्तार्क्ष्योऽअरिष्टनेमिः स्वस्ति नो बृहस्पतिर्दधातु ।।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ।।
