मार्कण्डेय म्हणाले—त्याचे वचन ऐकून राजा विश्वामित्राने गणनाथ (गणेश)समुद्भव यथोचित पूजा विधिपूर्वक केली।
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.
