Pagkaraan, ang mga Deva—pinamumunuan nina Indra, Padmodbhava (Brahmā), at Viṣṇu—kasama ang mga pinuno ng mga Gaṇa ni Śiva, ay nagsalita sa Panginoong Gaṇeśa, ang naghaharing Īśa, mula sa lahat ng panig. Inilapag ang mga korona at nag-anjali ang mga palad, kanilang ipinahayag: “Tagumpay sa Iyo, O Bhagavan!”
