"All beings seek comforts and enjoyments and kingdoms during lifetime and emancipation after death" Hearing such words of Pârvatî the Lord approached the Yaksha who saluted him The Lord then granted him Divine vision when he was able to behold the Lord with all His attendants and was highly pleased Then the Lord said "I am granting you a boon by virtue of which you will see the three realms, and your body will also become like Mine Look at Me, being free from any grief or trouble"—88-90
Sûta said—On attaining such a form, he stood up and throwing himself at the feet of the Lord said "Be kind on me," when the Lord said "I have granted you a boon" At which he again said—"Lord! grant me such a boon so that I may have unflinching devotion for You and I may be called everlasting Ganapati and the giver of food to the World—91-94
