on that fourth day, to please you, O Ḍhuṇḍhi, remover of all afflictions.
Whoever does not perform that pilgrimage here with an offering of sesamum-laḍḍukas
is to be struck down by my command by thousands of afflictions.
Whoever performs a fire sacrifice with sesamum and clarified butter out of devotion
on that fourth day, knowing the mantra, his mantra will be successful.
Whether Vedic or non-Vedic, whatever mantra of yours, O elephant-faced one,
is recited in your presence, O Ḍhuṇḍhi, it will grant the desired perfection.
Īśvara said:
The wise person who reads this praise composed by me,
the multitudes of obstacles will certainly never torment him.
Whoever reads this sacred praise of Ḍhuṇḍhi in the presence of Ḍhuṇḍhi,
all perfections will constantly seek his presence.
A person, having recited this supreme praise with restrained mind,
will never be overcome even by those sins committed in thought.
Sons, wife, fields, excellent horses, an excellent dwelling,
and wealth and grain a person will obtain, reciting the hymn of praise to Ḍhuṇḍhi.
This hymn of praise called 'Creator of All Prosperity' has been spoken by me;
it must be recited with effort at all times by one who desires liberation.
When a man who is about to go to any task recites this sacred hymn,
all perfections will certainly go before him.
I shall tell something else here; let these denizens of heaven listen:
wherever a dwelling has been made by Ḍhuṇḍhi for the protection of the sacred field.
In Kāśī, at the confluence of the Gaṅgā and the Asi, he is named Arkavināyaka;
[he is] seen by men on Sunday for the pacification of all afflictions.
Durga by name is the chief of the gaṇas, the destroyer of all adversity;
he is to be worshiped with effort in the southern part of the sacred field.
Near Bhīmacaṇḍī is Bhīmacaṇḍavināyaka;
situated in the southwest region of the sacred field, when seen he destroys great fear.
