In the western part of the sacred field is Dehalivināyaka; / he will avert all obstacles for his devotees, of this there is no doubt.
In the north-western direction of the sacred field is the elephant-faced one named Uddaṇḍa; / he constantly punishes even the most violent hosts of obstacles of his devotees.
Always in the northern direction of Kāśī is Pāśapāṇivināyaka; / he binds the obstacle-makers through the devotion of the residents of Kāśī.
At the confluence of the Gaṅgā and the Varaṇā is the charming Kharvavināyaka; / he makes even the immense hosts of obstacles of the good devotees small.
In the east, indeed, for the protection of the sacred field, is the accomplished Siddhivināyaka; / to the west of Yamatīrtha, he quickly grants perfections to practitioners.
And these eight Vināyakas reside in the outer enclosure of Kāśī; / they drive away non-devotees and grant all perfections to devotees.
And those Vināyakas who protect in the second enclosure / of this Avimukta sacred field, I shall now declare them.
On the western bank of the river of heaven, to the north of Arkavināyaka, / the leader of gaṇas, Lambodara, washes away the mud of obstacles.
To the west of that is Kūṭadanta, north of Durgavināyaka; / destroying difficult afflictions, he constantly protects this sacred field.
Somewhat toward the north-east direction from the leader of gaṇas Bhīmacaṇḍa, / Śālakaṭaṅkaṭa, the leader of gaṇas who protects the sacred field, is to be worshipped.
To the east of Dehalivighneśa, the Vināyaka named Kūṣmāṇḍa / is always to be worshipped with devotion for the pacification of great portents.
In the direction of fire (south-east) from the lord of gaṇas named Uddaṇḍa, / the very renowned Muṇḍavināyaka is to be worshipped by devotees.
His body is in Pātāla; the severed head is located in Kāśī; / therefore that god is sung of in Kāśī as Muṇḍavināyaka.
To the south of Pāśapāṇi Gaṇeśa, having worshipped the lord of gaṇas / Vikaṭadvija, one obtains the status of lordship over the gaṇas.
In the south-western part from the one named Kharva is Rājaputravināyaka;
