इति श्रीब्रह्माण्डपुराणे उत्तरभागे हयग्रीवागस्त्यसंवादे ललितोपाख्याने गणनाथपराक्रमो नाम सप्तविंशो ऽध्यायः रणेभग्नं महादैत्यं भण्डदैत्यः सहोदरम् / सेनानां कदनं श्रुत्वा सन्तप्तो बहुचिन्तया
iti śrībrahmāṇḍapurāṇe uttarabhāge hayagrīvāgastyasaṃvāde lalitopākhyāne gaṇanāthaparākramo nāma saptaviṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ raṇebhagnaṃ mahādaityaṃ bhaṇḍadaityaḥ sahodaram / senānāṃ kadanaṃ śrutvā santapto bahucintayā
Thus, in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa, in the latter section, in the dialogue of Hayagrīva and Agastya, in the sacred tale of Lalitā, is the twenty-seventh chapter called “The Valor of Gaṇanātha.” Hearing that his brother, the mighty Daitya, had been broken in battle, and that the armies had been slaughtered, Bhaṇḍa Daitya burned with anguish, beset by many thoughts.
