At the celebration of his mother’s slaughter of Mahiṣa, the festival of Mahiṣa's slaying, having spoken thus, may Guha protect you as he casts, places the two tusks, the pair of horns of the enemy Mahiṣa, onto the mouth, the face, of the Elephant-Faced One, Gaṇapati. Tusks of what sort? Gleaming white with a smile, possessing white beauty through a smile. “Thus”—what?
“O Elephant-Faced One, when your tusk, your tooth, was broken by the Daitya whose form was turned into a buffalo, why are you dejected, sorrowful? I have indeed set about today to give you an ornament once more, so that it becomes twofold!”

During which, as though afflicted by fatigue, the seven steeds of the Sun take their rest,
and under whom, as he stole the order of things, a dwelling of night, even all seven worlds slept—
from the destruction of that Mahiṣa through the falls of her feet, bearing the sky's thick twilight
in the crimson of the streams of blood, may the Mountain's daughter, another Sun, protect you. || 68
