गणेशविवाहोत्सवः तथा सिद्धि-बुद्धि-सन्तानवर्णनम् | Gaṇeśa’s Wedding Festival and the Progeny of Siddhi & Buddhi
यद्यत्तस्य च वृत्तांतं भवत्पृष्टं मुनीश्वर । कार्तिकस्य गणेशस्य परमं कथितं मया
yadyattasya ca vṛttāṃtaṃ bhavatpṛṣṭaṃ munīśvara | kārtikasya gaṇeśasya paramaṃ kathitaṃ mayā
Bạch bậc thánh hiền tối thượng, mọi điều về Ngài mà hiền giả đã hỏi—nay ta đã thuật lại cho hiền giả câu chuyện tối thượng và cốt yếu về Kārtikeya và Gaṇeśa.
Suta Goswami
The verse marks the completion of an authoritative narration, emphasizing that Purāṇic history (vṛttānta) is not mere story but a dharmic and devotional teaching meant to mature bhakti and right understanding of Shiva’s divine household.
By highlighting Kārtikeya and Gaṇeśa—principal attendants of Saguna Shiva—this verse supports devotional engagement with Shiva’s manifest (saguṇa) forms and family as legitimate aids for devotion that ultimately leads the seeker toward Shiva’s highest reality.
The takeaway is śravaṇa (listening) and smaraṇa (remembrance) of Shiva-related kathā with devotion; one may pair this with daily japa of “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” as a Shaiva Siddhanta-aligned practice to internalize the teaching.
