भविष्यसि गणेशानः कल्पांतेऽनुग्रहान्मम । तावत्तिष्ठ ममादेशात्स्वाधिकारेषु निर्वृतः । इत्युक्त्वाऽदर्शनं प्राप्तो दक्षस्यामिततेजसः

«Par ma grâce, à la fin du kalpa tu deviendras Gaṇeśāna. Jusque-là, sur mon ordre, demeure apaisé dans tes charges et prérogatives». Ayant ainsi parlé, le Seigneur à l’éclat incommensurable disparut aux yeux de Dakṣa.

Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva grants Dakṣa a startling boon—future attainment of Gaṇeśāna at kalpa’s end—then vanishes in radiant antardhāna; Dakṣa looks up in awe as the light recedes.
