Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 16
द्वारस्थेन गणेशेन प्रवेशोदायि तस्य न । ततः क्रुद्धो महादेवः परस्परमयुध्यत
dvārasthena gaṇeśena praveśodāyi tasya na | tataḥ kruddho mahādevaḥ parasparamayudhyata
Parce que Gaṇeśa se tenait à la porte, l’entrée ne lui fut point accordée. Alors Mahādeva, saisi de courroux, s’engagea au combat contre lui.
Narrator (deduced)
Scene: Gaṇeśa stands as a youthful guardian at a doorway, barring entry; Mahādeva approaches, anger rising; tension at the threshold before combat.
