tathā caṃdramasaṃ devaṃ pādāṃguṣṭhena līlayā | dharṣayāmāsa valavānsmayamāno gaṇeśvaraḥ

Narrator (Purāṇic narrator within Prabhāsa-khaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Assembly of sages
Scene: A smiling gaṇa-lord lightly presses or taps the Moon-god with his big toe, subduing him; Candra’s crescent and cool aura dim as attendants and sages watch in astonishment.
Cosmic luminaries too are shown as powerless before the force that restores dharmic balance.
Vastrāpathakṣetra in the Prabhāsa-khaṇḍa narrative frame.
None; the verse is descriptive of a mythic confrontation.
