एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु शिवो द्वारि समागतः ॥ कौतुकी मुनिर्शादूल नानालीलाविशारदः ॥३१॥

O excellent sage, at this very moment Śiva who is eagerly indulgent and an expert in various divine sports came near the door.

Not knowing that he was lord Śiva, the consort of Pārvatī, Gaṇeśa said—“O sir, without my mother’s permission you shall not go in now.

My mother has entered the bath. Where are you going now? Go away” saying thus, he took up his staff to ward him off.

On seeing him Śiva said “O foolish fellow, whom are you forbidding? O wicked knave, don’t you know me? I Śiva, none else”.

ताडितस्तेन यष्ट्या हि गणेशेन महेश्वरः ॥ प्रत्युवाच स तं पुत्रं बहुलीलश्च कोपितः ॥ ३५॥

Thereupon Gaṇeśa beat Śiva with the staff. Śiva expert in various sports became infuriated and spoke to his son thus.
