जयेति चोक्त्वा जययोनिमुग्रमुवाच नंदी कनकावदातम् ॥ गणेश्वराणां रणकर्म देव देवैश्च सेन्द्रैरपि दुष्करं सत् ॥४१॥

After saying “Be victorious” to Śiva, the cause of victory and golden-complexioned, Nandin said—“O lord, the warlike activities of leading Gaṇas, which are difficult even for the gods including Indra, to perform, have been rendered futile by Bhārgava.

O lord, after repeating the lore that revives the dead to life, one for each, all the dead enemies have been playfully resuscitated.

The great Asuras, viz., Tuhuṇḍa, Huṇḍa, Kumbha, Jambha, Vipāka, Pāka and others have returned from Yama’s abode. They are routing the Pramathas and are roaming about.

O lord Śiva, how can we be victorious if he were to revive to life all the Daityas killed by us, again and again? How can there be peace to the leading Gaṇas?

Sanatkumāra said: On being thus addressed by the leading Pramatha, Nandin, the lord of leading Pramathas laughingly spoke to Nandin, the chief of all lords of Gaṇas.
