Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 24
इति गणेशोत्पत्तिः । ततः कदाचिद्भगवानुमया सह मंदरे । मंदिरे हर्षजनने कलधौतमये शुभे
iti gaṇeśotpattiḥ | tataḥ kadācidbhagavānumayā saha maṃdare | maṃdire harṣajanane kaladhautamaye śubhe
इस प्रकार गणेश-उत्पत्ति का वर्णन समाप्त हुआ। फिर एक समय भगवान् उमादेवी के साथ मन्दर पर्वत पर, हर्ष उत्पन्न करने वाले, शुभ और परिष्कृत स्वर्ण-निर्मित भवन में विराजमान थे।
