The leading Gaṇas said:— O great lord, the destroyer of Tripuras, why are we called? Please command us, O bestower of wishes. We arc your servants and we have come here.
कस्याद्य व्यसनं घोरं करिष्यामस्तवाज्ञया ।। कस्य वाद्योत्सवो देव सर्वकामसमृद्धये ।। २९ ।।
To whom shall we cause great and terrible distress at your behest? O lord, who is to be extremely jubilant to-day for the increase of all cherished desires?
