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.
