may constantly protect the great cremation ground from the evil gaze of the wicked!
In the east from Pañcāsya, may Kṣipraprasādana protect the city; / from the worship of Kṣipraprasādana, perfections are swiftly accomplished.
In the direction of fire (south-east) from Heraṃba is Cintāmaṇivināyaka; / a wish-fulfilling jewel for devotees in visible form, he bestows desired goals.
To the south of Vighnarāja, the lord of gaṇas Dantahasta / writes down thousands of obstacles for men who are hostile to Vārāṇasī.
In the south-western direction from Varada, surrounded by hosts of demons, / is the god named Piciṇḍila; may he protect the city day and night!
Seen at Pilipilātīrtha to the south of Modakapriya, / what does the high-headed Heraṃba not give to his devotees?
In the fifth circuit of Kāśī, the twice-four Vināyakas / who protect the sacred field—them I declare here:
On the bank of the heavenly river and to the north of Abhayaprada / is Gaṇeśāna Sthūladanta; he bestows great perfections upon the virtuous.
In the northern part from Siṃhatuṇḍa is Kalipriyavināyaka; / he constantly causes quarrels among each other for those who harm pilgrims.
Likewise in the north-east from Kūṇitākṣa is Caturdantavināyaka; / merely by seeing him, the host of obstacles perishes on its own.
In the east from Kṣipraprasādana is the leader of gaṇas Dvituṇḍa; / in front and behind, he bears equal splendor.
From beholding him, men obtain prosperity in every direction. / The leader of gaṇas named Jyeṣṭha is the eldest among the wealth of my sons;
he is to be worshipped on the fourteenth lunar day of the bright fortnight of Jyeṣṭha to attain supremacy; / he is situated in the south-east from Cintāmaṇivināyaka.
In the southern direction from Dantahasta, Gajavināyaka is to be worshipped; / from worshipping him with devotion, prosperity ending in elephants is attained.
To the south of the lord of gaṇas Piciṇḍila is Kālavināyaka; / from serving him, there is no fear brought about by Death for men.
