गणेशयुद्धवर्णनं नाम पञ्चदशोऽध्यायः

 

Ganesha war description Chapter 15

 

गणेश उवाच |

 

Ganesha said (to one friend of Parvati)

 

आयातु गणपाः सर्वे शिवाज्ञापरिपालकाः |

अहमेकश्च बालश्च शिवाज्ञापरिपालकः || 3 ||

तथापि पश्यतां देवी पार्वतिसूनुजं बलम् |

शिवश्च स्वगणानां तु बलं पश्यतु वै पुनः || 4 ||

 

Let all the heads of the assistants who obey orders of Lord Shiva come. And I am (just) one, and a child who obeys the orders of Goddess Shivaa. Still, Devi, let us see the strength born of Parvati's son. Then again let us see the strength of Lord Shiva's own assistants.
