Nahe jener dreifachen Stadt (Tripura) erstrahlte Gaṇeśa—der Herr der Gaṇas—umgeben von den Herren der Devas, von Nandimukha, von Nandin und von Scharen von Gefolgsleuten. Er erschien wie der Meru mit seinen acht Gipfeln, gleich dem göttlichen Wagen der Göttin (Śakti) im kosmischen Ritus von Śivas Sieg.
