First comes Lambodara, the pot-bellied one, the giver of all accomplishments, bearing four arms and an axe, whose greatness cannot be measured. That God, the child of Gauri, is dancing with anklets jingling at his feet, joined by the company of Narada and Tumbara, while all obstacles flee. The stage is set and the performance begins; he waves his arms and sways his body, adorned with vermilion paste and a serpent upon his crown. Gods, sages, and seers delight in him; one's eyes are never satisfied by gazing upon him. Demons bow at his feet; he alone exists at the beginning and at the end. Says Tuka, he is the giver of all accomplishments, his beauty is beyond measure, and he shall carry us across the ocean of the world.

At the very beginning comes Lambodara, the pot-bellied one, giver of all attainments, four-armed, bearing the axe, whose limit cannot be told. That God, the child of Gauri, has begun to dance, anklets bound jingling at his feet, with Narada and Tumbara in his company, and the obstacles take flight. The stage is set, the dance begins; he makes his arms dance and sways his body, beautiful with vermilion paste, a serpent shining on his crown. Gods, sages, and seers delight in him; the eyes are never filled with looking. Demons bow at his feet; he alone is there at the beginning and at the end. Tuka says: he is the giver of all attainments, his form has no limit, and he will carry us across the ocean of the world.
