English translation

The Breaking of the trunk of Ganesa said - On hearing the words of Ganesa, the wise Parasurama holding the battle- axe in his hand tried to force his entry into the house. Finding Parasurama so behaving, Ganesa got up at once and making great effort tried to stop Parasurama, making several requests.

Wielding the battle-axe Parasurama was enraged and his eyes became red like the red- lotus. Inspite of that, Ganes'a stopped him and said, "You better return." But Parasurama getting enraged challenged Ganesa again. Finding thus humiliated Brahmana rushed forward and stood before Parasurama.

Ganesa became attentive citing dharma as the witness. Ganesa who had over-powered his anger, again tried to convince Parasurama again and again and said, ”0 lord you go back,” Without the permission of the lord you don't have the strength to enter the inner apartment.

You are my brother in relation to the bestowing of knowledge to you Siva. You are a guest and are the dear pupil of the lord.

Therefore, I am tolerating all your misbehaviour.

O Brahmana, I am neither Kartavirya nor any petty king, killed by you in the battle-field.

Evidently you are not aware of the birth of the son of the lord.

O Brahmana you are a guest, you wait for a while; go back and I shall accompany you to Siva in a moment.

NSrayana said - On hearing the words of Gaoesa, Bhrgu laughed at him again and again and bowing before Hari and ^iva in his mind he resolved to make use of the battle-axe.

TET-niTm; I Ganesa realised that Parasurama intends to attack him with battle-axe. Therefore citing dharma as his witness, he extended his trunk to crores of yojanas in length and encircling Parasurama, he lifted him up like Garuda lifting a serpent. Thus entwining Parasurama in his trunk, he removed Parasurama around all the seven continents, the mountains, Meru and all the oceans in a moment.

Thereafter, Ganesa who destroys the arrogance, making Parasurama helpless in feet as well as arm, all his limbs started trembling and Ganesa again took him round and round the Thereafter Gapesa carried ParasurSma round the earth, BhUloka, Bhuvarloka, Svarloka, Janoloka and Tapoloka, playfully. After taking him round these places, then he carried him to and Sivaloka. Thereafter showing him round the globe he took him round all the oceans.

He then threw out all the aquatic animals like crocodiles and others and threw him in the Parasurama started floating in the oceanic water, where he was about to die but he again picked him up from there and moving him round and round, the globe, he lifted him up to Vaikunt ha and produced him before lord Visnu and Thus Ganesa, the lord of the yogis with the application of illusion extending his trunk carried him to Goloka, where the river Viraja was flowing. He then carried him through Vmdavana, Himalaya having a hundred peaks, and produced him before lord Krsna surrounded by the cowherds and cowherdesses. He was having two arms and holding a flute in his hands, wearing a serene smile on the face. He was seated on a gem- studded lion-throne and was adorned with all the ornaments, bearing the lustre of crores of suns, resting his head on the breasts of Radha.

w i fa gi fT: Having an audience with lord Krspa he bowed in reverence to him again and again and then he extended his trunk. Taking Parasurama round and round he produced him before lord Krsna, as a result of which Parasurama was relieved of all the sins committed by him, because an audience with the lord destroys all the sins.

The result that emerged from sin can never be destroyed without facing the same. Parasurama had already faced the result of some of his misdeeds and the result of the remaining sins vanished with the audience with lord Krsna. He, therefore, regained consciousness in a moment and at once he reached the earth and was relieved of the miseries caused to him by Ganesa.

Thereafter, Parasurama adored the inaccessible kavaca bestowed to him by his teacher, besides the stotra of lord Krsna reciting the name of lord Siva who happens to be the teacher of the universe.

O sage, thereafter he thought of using the infallible battle-axe which was like ^iva and dazzling like the shine of the mid-day sun of the Ganapati on his part witnessed the weapon which was granted by Siva himself to Parasurama and face the attack on the left tusks.

He did not make it infractuous.

The battle-axe shot by Parasurama severed the left tusk of Ganapati with the force of Mahadeva and again went back to Parasurama.

Finding this the gods in the sky, Virabhadra, Karttikeya and other attendants of Siva beside Ksetra-palas felt panicky.

Like the mountain of crystal of red ochre, the tusk soaked in blood making a thundering sound fell on the ground.

O dear one the deafening sound created by its fall made the earth to shake and the dwellers of Kailasa fainted with panic in a moment.

Thereafter $iva, the lord of the universe woke up with Parvati and came out of the chamber.

O sage, they saw Ganesa with a broken tusk.

he had already over-come the anger and was smiling with shyness.

aara pa: p par Parvatl at once asked Skanda, "O son what was happened?" He narrated the entire story to Parvatl. At that point of time Durga was enraged and she started crying again and again feeling carrying her son in her lap.

Because of grief and fear she addressed lord Siva. The chaste lady meekly spoke to her husband who always removed the miseries of his
