Mārkaṇḍeya dit : Ayant entendu ces paroles, le roi Viśvāmitra accomplit, comme il convenait, le culte issu de Gaṇanātha (Gaṇeśa).
Mārkaṇḍeya
Type: kshetra
Scene: Mārkaṇḍeya narrates: King Viśvāmitra, regal yet ascetic, performs Gaṇanātha pūjā with a priestly arrangement—durvā, modaka, lamp, water-pot—before a serene Gaṇeśa image.
Hearing authoritative instruction and then performing worship according to rule (yathocita) is presented as the dharmic path to success.
The narrative sits inside the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra-māhātmya section of the Nāgarakhaṇḍa.
Perform Gaṇanātha/Gaṇeśa worship in the proper, prescribed manner after receiving instruction.
