Nārada said: The gods said to the slayer of Vṛtra, "Come out, O Śatakratu; for we are here together with Nārada, the sage of the gods." Covering their nostrils with the ends of their garments, O best of kings — then, when Indra had bathed well and rinsed his mouth again, the lord of speech (said to him): "How was the effort made by you to win the favour of this Gautama? And how did he declare the supreme mantra for my sake? Let all tell that." Beginning of chapter 34: Nārada said: At the foot of a kadamba tree, on an excellent seat, fixing his gaze on the tip of his nose and restraining his mind, the enemy of Jambha then muttered the six-syllabled mantra, O king. "The god beyond causes, unmanifest, the cause of the world's cause, whom you constantly meditate upon with this mantra, unwavering — you have grown weary for a long time" — so saying, (the god) became manifest. "Pleased with this austerity, I have come here to grant a boon. Imperishable, the supreme Self, having the universe for form, the lord of all — knowing you through fierce austerities, Sanaka and the rest attained release." The sage said: Hearing Indra's words, Vighneśa, lord of the worlds, whose voice was deep as a thundercloud, spoke in gentle speech. Even today that Gaṅgā of auspicious waters, by Śakra's ordinance, having performed the bathing upon his image, ever goes to her own abode. Vyāsa said: When that divine sage had gone, what did the king do then? Tell me, Rukmāṅgada, this delightful tale. "When her husband had gone to bathe, that wicked woman cursed me in fury; thereupon I sat down at the root of a tree, grieving." Having worshipped Vināyaka, he beheld a mass of radiance: a celestial chariot like the sun, and those brahmins and attendants, thronged with the hosts of Vināyaka, accompanied by apsarases and kinnaras. Bowing, the king asked them: "Who are you, whence have you come? Whose messengers? What business is there here? Tell it courteously." Brahmā said: Hearing the king's sweet words, the one who rode in the chariot (spoke). "How is it that he shows me such regard? I do not know the fruit born of the sacred ford; what excellent merit of mine, gained in another birth, has borne fruit?" Then king Rukmāṅgada, with his army, at the messengers' word, mounting the excellent chariot, came to the city of Kauṇḍinya.

तं गत्वा गौतममुनिं प्रसाद्य त्वामिहागताः । उपायस्तेन कथितो वरो दत्तस्तवापि च सहस्रवर्षाणि गतानि तस्य, मरुत्पते मारुत भक्षणस्य। वल्मीक गुल्मानि शरीरदेशे, जातानि वै भूधरवस्थिरस्य ब्रह्मोवाच । कृत्वोपदेशं सुमहान्तमेव गते मुनौ नारद नाम्नि पुत्र । रुक्मांगदो हर्षयुतो ददर्श सेनां स्वकीयां चतुरंगिणीताम् ० ।। दूता विनायकस्योचुर्धन्योसि नृपसत्तम । येन ते सर्वभावेन ध्यातश्चिंतामणिः प्रभु १ ।। तीर्थयात्रा कृता सम्यग्दानं दत्वा यथाविधि । चिन्तामणिः पूजितश्च कृतकृत्योऽसि सांप्रतम्

taṃ gatvā gautamamuniṃ prasādya tvāmihāgatāḥ | upāyastena kathito varo dattastavāpi ca sahasravarṣāṇi gatāni tasya, marutpate māruta bhakṣaṇasya| valmīka gulmāni śarīradeśe, jātāni vai bhūdharavasthirasya brahmovāca | kṛtvopadeśaṃ sumahāntameva gate munau nārada nāmni putra | rukmāṃgado harṣayuto dadarśa senāṃ svakīyāṃ caturaṃgiṇītām 0 || dūtā vināyakasyocurdhanyosi nṛpasattama | yena te sarvabhāvena dhyātaściṃtāmaṇiḥ prabhu 1 || tīrthayātrā kṛtā samyagdānaṃ datvā yathāvidhi | cintāmaṇiḥ pūjitaśca kṛtakṛtyo'si sāṃpratam

Having gone to that sage Gautama and won his favour, we have come here to you; the means was declared by him, and a boon was granted to you as well. A thousand years have passed for him, O lord of the winds, for him who feeds on air; anthills and thickets have grown upon his body, for he stands as motionless as a mountain. Brahmā said: When the sage named Nārada, having given that very great instruction, had gone away, O son, Rukmāṅgada, filled with delight, beheld his own fourfold army. The messengers of Vināyaka said: You are blessed, O best of kings, in that Cintāmaṇi the Lord was meditated upon by you with your whole being. The pilgrimage has been properly made, gifts given according to rule, and Cintāmaṇi worshipped; now you are one who has accomplished his purpose.

GnP 1 33.3

दोषे जाते स्वयं सन्तः ख्यापयन्ति जनेषु तम् । तत्र प्रतिविधिं सम्यक्कुर्वन्ति तन्निरर्थकम् ततः प्रसन्नो भगवान् गणेशो, यः सर्वगः सर्वविदुर तेजाः । स्वतेजसा बह्वि शशीनतेजां, स्याच्छादयन्सर्व विलोचनानि तयाऽपि दृष्टो नृपतिर्विरूपो यः स्वर्णकान्तो रतिभर्तृरूपः । आसीत् पुरेत्थं कथमेष जातः, संशय्य पप्रच्छ नृपं निमित्तम् इत्युक्त्वा पूजयामास नत्वा चरणपंकजम् । प्रार्थयामास सर्वांस्तान्पिता मम नृपोत्तम । ब्रह्मण्यः सत्यवादी च भीमो भीमपराक्रमः ततस्तावपि नेष्यामो विमानवरमास्थितौ ६।। ब्रह्मोवाच । इति तद् वचनं श्रुत्वा कृत्वा प्रतिकृतिं कुशैः । कुशोऽसि कुशपुत्रोऽसि ब्रह्मणा निर्मितः पुरा । ७।। त्वयि स्नाते तु स स्नातो यस्येदं ग्रन्थिबंधनम् । एवं मन्त्रं समुच्चार्य सर्वेषामानुपूर्वशः

doṣe jāte svayaṃ santaḥ khyāpayanti janeṣu tam | tatra pratividhiṃ samyakkurvanti tannirarthakam tataḥ prasanno bhagavān gaṇeśo, yaḥ sarvagaḥ sarvavidura tejāḥ | svatejasā bahvi śaśīnatejāṃ, syācchādayansarva vilocanāni tayā'pi dṛṣṭo nṛpatirvirūpo yaḥ svarṇakānto ratibhartṛrūpaḥ | āsīt puretthaṃ kathameṣa jātaḥ, saṃśayya papraccha nṛpaṃ nimittam ityuktvā pūjayāmāsa natvā caraṇapaṃkajam | prārthayāmāsa sarvāṃstānpitā mama nṛpottama | brahmaṇyaḥ satyavādī ca bhīmo bhīmaparākramaḥ tatastāvapi neṣyāmo vimānavaramāsthitau 6|| brahmovāca | iti tad vacanaṃ śrutvā kṛtvā pratikṛtiṃ kuśaiḥ | kuśo'si kuśaputro'si brahmaṇā nirmitaḥ purā | 7|| tvayi snāte tu sa snāto yasyedaṃ granthibaṃdhanam | evaṃ mantraṃ samuccārya sarveṣāmānupūrvaśaḥ

When a fault has been committed, good men themselves make it known among people; and there they duly apply the remedy, so that it becomes of no effect. Then the blessed Gaṇeśa was pleased — he who is all-pervading, all-knowing, of great splendour — veiling all eyes with his own radiance that surpasses many moons. By her too the king was seen, disfigured — he who had the lustre of gold and the form of the husband of Rati; "formerly he was thus: how has he become like this?" — doubting, she asked the king the reason. Having said this, he bowed and worshipped his lotus feet, and entreated them all: "My father, O best of kings, is devoted to brahmins, truthful, terrible, of terrible valour." "Then we shall convey those two also, seated in the excellent chariot." Brahmā said: Hearing that speech, and having made an effigy of kuśa grass: "You are kuśa, you are the son of kuśa, fashioned of old by Brahmā; when you are bathed, he too is bathed, he whose knot-binding this is" — thus, having uttered the mantra for all of them in order.

आच्छादने दोषवृद्धिः ख्यापने तु लये भवेत् । तस्मात्त्वमपि देवेन्द्र बहिरागत्य तं वद चतुर्भुजो रत्नकिरीट माली, चावंगदः कुंडलमंडिगंड: । मुक्तामयं दाम च नूपुरे च, बिभ्रन् महा कटिसूत्रमुच्चैः सेनान्य ऊचुः । गिरीन्वनानि सरितो भ्रान्त्वा च वयमागतः । क्षुत्तृट्परीता राजेन्द्र त्वद्दर्शन समुत्सुकाः वाद्यघोषैर्ब्रह्मघोषैर्गन्धर्वाप्सरसां रवैः । नादितं गगनं तेन विमानेन दिशो दश

By concealment the fault grows, but by disclosure it comes to dissolution; therefore you too, O Indra of the gods, come out and tell him. Four-armed, garlanded, with a jewelled diadem, wearing armlets, his cheeks adorned with earrings, bearing a necklace of pearls, anklets, and a great waist-cord high (about him). The commanders said: Having roamed over mountains, forests and rivers, we have come, O king of kings, beset by hunger and thirst, longing for the sight of you. By that chariot the sky and the ten directions were made to resound with the noise of instruments, with Vedic chanting, and with the cries of gandharvas and apsarases.

देवर्षिं प्रति तं ब्रूहि कुरूपायं मुनीरितम् । वैनायकं महामन्त्रं गृहाण त्वं षडक्षरम् यः पुष्कराक्षः पृथु पुष्करोऽपि, बृहत्करः पुष्करशालिमालः । आविर्बभूवाखिल देवमूर्तिः सिन्दूरशालि पुरतो मथोनः पदे पदे प्रपश्यन्तः संप्राप्तास्ते पदाम्बुजम् । इमामवस्थां दृष्टवा ते दुःखाद् दुःखतरं गताः

Tell that to the divine sage — the means spoken by the sage; do it: receive the great six-syllabled mantra of Vināyaka. He who is lotus-eyed and broad-lotused, with a great trunk, garlanded with a wealth of lotuses, whose form comprises all the gods, gleaming with vermilion, appeared in front. Looking at every step, they reached his lotus feet. Seeing this condition, they passed from sorrow to greater sorrow.

And Brahmā gazed at the toe (of the goddess) at the wedding of Girijā and her lord; then his seed spilled, and ashamed he went away with his face downcast. Seeing him, he became stricken with fear: "What is this? What has come upon me? And how shall I stay alive, made as I am of bones and breath?" "What was the cause of this for us? Tell us, O best of kings." The king said: I came on ahead, thirsty and hungry.

Knowing this, Maheśa by a device made him free of fault. As soon as he heard this speech framed by the host of divine sages: "What is this great obstacle today? I do not know by whom it was made. My body streams with sweat and trembles like a bodhi leaf. I quickly saw before me the household hermitage of Vācaknavi; going there, I saw his wife, of lovely face."

Indra came out from the lotus-sheath, O king, having respectfully heard the words of all the gods there. The lord of all-seeing eyes understood his distress thus, and Vināyaka spoke sweet words to that great Indra. "She was auspicious, Mukundā by name; water was asked of her by me. But she, wicked and wanton, spoke unauspicious words to me."

His limbs smeared with pus and blood, foul, reeking with stench — seeing him in that state, all the gods bowed to the lord of the gods. Vināyaka said: Do not be afraid, lord of the gods; how is it, O god, that you do not know me — that which is without qualities, without change, consciousness and bliss, eternal? "Make love with me; if not, I lay a curse on you." But she was refused by me by force, with a pure mind.

He imparted the great six-syllabled mantra of Gaṇeśa; and when the instruction had been given by him, he became of divine body. By the power of his former merit he beheld the sage Nārada; by him was told to me the excellent rite that destroys misfortune.

Thousand-eyed and glorious, he shone like the sun, the maker (of day). Then with the sounds of instruments and the shouts of victory of the heaven-dwellers... "Know that the arising, the dissolution and the preservation of the endless world-eggs is from me alone; choose what you desire, sinless one." Having gone to the field of Cintāmaṇi and resorted to Gaṇeśa's sacred ford, the greatness of that ford was told at length by him.

Nārada said: Having heard his delightful words, the smiter of Bala (Indra) came to awareness — (of) the venerable, great-bodied Vināyaka, god of gods. "Bathing there has been declared by the sage of divine sight; therefore I shall go to bathe, for the removal of my own fault."

Then all the sages, Nārada and the rest, gave their blessings; the gods embraced (him) with joy, and others praised him. Then, rising quickly, he bowed with supreme devotion; Śacī's husband addressed the one who was visibly of the form of Brahman: "Let all come with me to bathe there, if you wish; having bathed and given according to your means, and having worshipped Vināyaka —"

Some, well-disposed, said to him: "Truly we have a lord in you; without you we have no splendour, as the sky without the moon." Indra said: "Even Brahmā and the other gods, and the lords of the directions, do not know you — (nor) your qualities, O mighty-armed one, who bring about creation, continuance and end." "Purified by the power of those two, we shall then go to our own city." Ka (Brahmā) said: Knowing their resolve to be such, they went with the king at their head; and on seeing the tīrtha named Gaṇeśa, the king shone with a divine body.

विना स्वपितरौ बाला न सुखं यान्ति सर्वथा। तथा विना वयं त्वां हि लभामः शर्म न क्वचित् पदं तु कृत्रिमं मह्यं शतयज्ञसमुद्भवम् । दत्तं तत्राप्यन्तराया भवन्ति बहुधा मम तप्तकांचनवर्णाभो यथापूर्वं मुनीश्वर । ततो रुक्मांगदो मेने नारदोक्तमृतं वचः

Without their own parents children by no means attain happiness; so too without you we find no shelter anywhere. "But the station given me is artificial, arising from a hundred sacrifices; even there obstacles arise for me in many ways." "Shining with the colour of molten gold as before, O lord of sages." Then Rukmāṅgada held the word spoken by Nārada to be true.

The sage said: Having thus heard the gods' speech, Śatakratu rejoiced, and with a gladdened heart spoke true words to the gods. Indra said: "The exceedingly difficult deed I did, deluded by the divine sage's word — today an unbearable fruit has been obtained; I have been lifted up by you all out of the eruption of my sin." "He alone would know your greatness, O cause of obstacles; he will have the power to declare your qualities and forms."

The gods said: Putting the sage, our guru, in front, we went and bowed fully to that sage; propitiated by the varied nectar of (our) words, he, though (having to be) entreated, uttered his own mantra. "By the power of the six-syllabled (mantra) you have been seen, O supreme lord; formerly this mantra was taught to me by Brahmā, indeed by (his) grace."

The directions and the intermediate directions were made to resound with the singing of the gandharvas; all the gods, filled with joy, released flowers of (many) colours. Indra said: "I shall not go to my own city without the grace of Gaṇeśa, O best of gods and seers; go you, your good work done, joyfully delighting in the divine abodes." "By me, exceedingly greedy and fallen under the sway of ill fortune, that sage's wife was violated; thereby he came to a bad state." "Since he gives what is thought of, he is remembered as Cintāmaṇi; and we too have accomplished our purpose by the sight of you, O you of good vows."
