3. I salute the Lord of Ganas, who delights the heart of the Divine Mother Ambika, is protected by the Divine parents and is intoxicated by the love of His devotees.
4. I salute the Lord of Ganas, whose body is decorated with colourful jewels, has a beautiful garland around His neck and who can manifest in any form.
5. I salute the Lord of Ganas, the best among Gods, who has the face of an elephant, is adorned with fan-like ears, and who holds a noose and a goad.
6. I salute the Lord of Ganas, who having mounted the best mouse, displayed immense valour in the great battle between the Gods and the demons.
