12. Now, on account of the establishment of that Satyamandira, the beauty of the city is described, along with the dwelling places of all the deities such as Gaṇeśa and Bhāskara in every quarter around Satyapura; in that connection, upon the occasion of the installation of Gaṇeśa, the account of Gaṇeśa's birth and deeds from Pārvatī is described; all the gods praised Gaṇeśa and requested him to protect the people dwelling in Dharmāraṇya; the chief of the Gaṇas accepted the prayer of the gods and took up residence to protect the residents of Dharmāraṇya, whereupon all the local inhabitants worship Śrī Gaṇeśa for the removal of all obstacles in auspicious undertakings such as weddings.
