गणेश-वाक्यं तथा गणानां समर-सन्नाहः | Gaṇeśa’s Challenge and the Mustering of the Gaṇas
इति श्रीशिवमहापुराणे द्वि० रुद्रसंहितायां च कुमारखण्डे गणेशयुद्धवर्णनं नाम पञ्चदशोऽध्यायः
iti śrīśivamahāpurāṇe dvi0 rudrasaṃhitāyāṃ ca kumārakhaṇḍe gaṇeśayuddhavarṇanaṃ nāma pañcadaśo'dhyāyaḥ
Như vậy, trong Shri Shiva Mahapurana, phần thứ hai—trong Rudra-samhita và trong Kumara-khanda—kết thúc chương thứ mười lăm có tựa đề “Mô tả về trận chiến liên quan đến Ganesha”.
Suta Goswami (traditional Purāṇic framing narrator to the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya)
Sthala Purana: Colophon marking the close of the ‘Gaṇeśa-yuddha-varṇana’ chapter within the Kumārakhaṇḍa; not a jyotirliṅga episode.
This is a colophon marking the completion of a chapter; spiritually, it signals a pause for reflection (manana) on the leela just narrated, encouraging the listener to assimilate its devotional and dharmic lessons within a Shaiva framework.
Though it does not directly mention the Liṅga, it situates the narrative within the Śiva Mahāpurāṇa’s Saguna context—where Shiva’s divine acts and the roles of his gaṇas (including Gaṇeśa) support bhakti and reverence toward Shiva as Pati (the Lord) who guides beings toward liberation.
As a chapter-ending marker, it implies a natural practice: conclude the recitation with a brief Shiva-smaraṇa (remembrance) or japa of the Pañcākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” dedicating the hearing/reading as an offering to Shiva.
