Shri Ganapati Atharvashirsha was written by Atharva Rishi who had Ganpati Darshan. It is customary to invoke the name of Lord Ganesha before beginning anything. This page gives the meaning of Shri Ganpati Atharvashirsha.
Stair Railings. Guard rails are required on the sides of stairs with a total rise of more than 30 above the floor or grade below. On this project we used Deckorators aluminum balusters, stair connectors, post caps and rail connectors.
This gives easy bolting to the stair framing, and would make for a very rigid railing-like wood deck railings are commonly mounted, fastened to the side of the outermost deck/stair stringer rather than through the top of the treads. This might get you down to the $500 range. The cheapest way, though not the you want, would probably be to cut off the ends of the treads, and put a raised halfwall next to the stairs with a top railing-from floor to rail as a stud frames drywall halfwall, rather than an open railing.
