FAQs
Hara is Śiva. He is called bhavahārin because he removes bhava—worldly existence and bondage—by granting liberation and dispelling the causes of saṁsāra.
Gaṇeśatā means being invested with the rank or function of Gaṇeśa—leadership over the gaṇas (Śiva’s attendants) and the associated authority/status bestowed by Śiva.
The verse highlights divine grace and transformative elevation: Śiva’s power can change one’s condition and remove bondage, encouraging devotion, humility, and trust in the liberating capacity of the divine.
