Note 1 — Chapter CXIII
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
Glory to Śiva, who assumes various forms; who, though his beloved takes up half his body,1 is an ascetic, free from qualities, the due object of a world’s adoration! We worship Gaṇeśa, who, when fanning away the cloud of bees, that flies up from his trunk, with his flapping ears, seems to be dispersing the host of obstacles.
