समायान्तं च मां दृष्ट्वा स गणेशो महाबली॥ क्रोधं कृत्वा समभ्येत्य मम श्मश्रूण्यवाकिरत् ॥ ३१ ॥

On seeing me approaching, the powerful Gaṇeśa came to me very furiously and plucked my moustache and beard.

english translation

क्षम्यतां क्षम्यतां देव न युद्धार्थं समागतः ॥ ब्राह्मणोहमनुग्राह्यः शांतिकर्तानुपद्रवः ॥ ३२ ॥

Forgive me. Forgive me, O lord. I have not come for fighting. I am a brahmin and shall be blessed. I have come to make peace and I will cause no harm.

english translation

इत्येवं ब्रुवति ब्रह्मंस्तावत्परिघमाददे ॥ स गणेशो महावीरो बालोऽबालपराक्रमः ॥ ३३ ॥

While I said thus, O brahmin, the heroic Gaṇeśa, the boy of great valour uncommon to the boys took up the iron club.

english translation

गृहीतपरिघं दृष्ट्वा तं गणेशं महाबलम् ॥ पलायनपरो यातस्त्वहं द्रुततरं तदा ॥३४॥

On seeing the powerful Gaṇeśa seizing the iron club I began to run away immediately.

यात यात ब्रुवंतस्ते परिघेन हतास्तदा ॥ स्वयं च पतिताः केचित्केचित्तेन निपातिताः ॥३५॥

The others too who were shouting “Go, Go” were struck down with the iron club. Some fell themselves and some were felled by him.
