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
अशा रीतीने गणेशोत्पत्तीचा वृत्तांत समाप्त झाला. नंतर एकदा भगवान उमेसह मंदर पर्वतावर, हर्ष उत्पन्न करणाऱ्या, शुभ व शुद्ध सुवर्णनिर्मित मंदिरात विराजमान झाले।
