Having with devotion duly worshipped the brother, that Rāma, by Śaṅkara's command, bowed to the teacher's wife and the teacher and made ready to depart. Him, the foremost of those who have conquered the senses, the teacher of the teachers of the lords of yoga, unmoved by beauty, free of desire — she, filled with desire, addressed. Hearing Gaṇeśa's words, tormented by love, she spoke to that god with a smile and a sidelong glance, in sweet speech. Thereafter (he said), "By the curse of the great ones you shall become a plant"; and saying "a great ascetic" (?) he fell silent toward her, O Nārada. Worshipped and saluted by all the chiefs of the gods and the bulls among sages, Gaṇeśvara dwelt happily in the presence of Pārvatī and Śiva. To the reciter are given the svastika, sesame sweet-balls, and fully ripened fruits produced in the (proper) place and season.
