v1.c9.31

*Bāla-Gaṇapati* is a form of this god sculptured like a child; it has of course four arms and the head of an elephant. A mango, a plantain, a jack fruit, and a sugar-cane are to be held in the four hands. In the trunk the image has to carry a wood-apple. Its colour should be, it is said, like that of the rising sun.
