Śiva's Gaṇas said: Who are you? From where have you come? And what do you intend to do? Go far from here this day, if you wish to live. — Then all those Gaṇas of Śiva who were there, having heard (his) words, went to Śiva there and reported that occurrence. Śivā's son said: Go, go far off from there; if not, I shall indeed show you my own most fierce valour, and you will be made utterly ridiculous. — Meanwhile the Goddess, hearing again the quarrel of them and of him at the door, said to her companion, "Look!" Brahmā said: Ah, the virtuous lady stood there a moment, under the sway of Śiva's will. — (Gaṇeśa said:) You are doorkeepers, and yet why is there no opening of the door? You stand there and I stand here — that is settled. And you are Gaṇas, in the world most skilled in battle; how then will you go off lightly, abandoning a fight with me?
