Apart from the famous ganpati atharva shIrsha,atharvans also posses sukta
dedicated to ganpati from samhita portion.(A.S. 1.18.1-4 )
RishI for the ganapati sukta is dravinodA ( the one who is giver of wealth or the
one who is granted wealth by lord ).This is only sukta by dravinodA rishI found
in Saunaka samhita.
Deity of the sukta is vinAyaka ( in case of samputa by vakratUnda
mantra deity is vakratUnda ganapati. )
Chhandas are described in viniyoga portion.
( dravinodA rishI || vinAyaka devatA || brahatI , jagatI , tristup ,
anushtup ChhandA)

dhyAnam

The one who is red in colour with a large stomach and moving ears, sitting
in padmAsan on a padmA having three eyes and four arms
holding pAsha , ankusha , abhaya and vara mudrA is to be meditate .

( I am giving the sukta in picture format due to reason of vedic svara and ease in
saving picture. Below is it’s translation in English with devanAgari transliteration

Stories involving the serpents are still very much a part of contemporary cultural
traditions in predominantly Hindu regions of Asia . In India, sarpas are
considered nature spirits and the protectors of springs, wells and rivers. They
bring rain, and thus fertility, but are also thought to bring disasters such as floods
and drought.
At one time there were many prevalent different renditions of the serpent cult
located in vedic India. The following is a sukta from paippalAda samhitA, which
describes of serpent deities. Ritualistically the sukta is employed in sarpa-balI ,
nagAstra prayoga, nAgapAshA prayoga and combined with nIlarudra mantras for
atharvanIya rUdraM. In the srauta yajurvedic context
this group of stanzas are
recited over the place where
a lotus leaf,a gold plate and a
golden figure of a man have been place over the hoofprint of a horse in a rite
called rukmAdyupadhAna,near the start of the agnicayana procedures. In
yajurvedic grihya sphere this mantras are employed in ashaleshA balI rite and
shravanA karma .

Homage be to the serpents,whichever ones[move]along the ground,those in the
mid space,[and]those in the sky ,to those serpents,homage!

And those in the bright vault of the sky,and those in the rays of the sun,those
whose seat is made in the water,to those serpents,homage!

To those who are the arrows of the sorcerers ,or to those of the trees,or to those
which lie in holes in the ground,to those serpents,homage!
