The Greatness of Ghanteshvara

Verse 1 (skanda.7.254.1)

ईश्वर उवाच। तत्रैव संस्थितं पश्येत्सर्वपातकनाशनम्। घण्टेश्वरमिति ख्यातं देवदानववन्दितम्। पूजितं ह्यृषिभिः सिद्धैर्वांछितार्थफलप्रदम्

īśvara uvāca| tatraiva saṁsthitaṁ paśyetsarvapātakanāśanam| ghaṇṭeśvaramiti khyātaṁ devadānavavanditam| pūjitaṁ hyṛṣibhiḥ siddhairvāṁchitārthaphalapradam

Ishvara said: There, right at that place, one should behold that destroyer of all sins, renowned as Ghanteshvara, revered by both gods and demons alike, worshipped by sages and siddhas, and the bestower of one's desired ends.

Verse 2 (skanda.7.254.2)

वारे सोमस्य चाष्टम्यां यस्तं पूजयते नरः। स लभेद्वांछितान्कामान्मुक्तः स्यात्पातकेन हि

vāre somasya cāṣṭamyāṁ yastaṁ pūjayate naraḥ| sa labhedvāṁchitānkāmānmuktaḥ syātpātakena hi

Whoever worships him on an eighth lunar day that falls on a Monday obtains his desired wishes and becomes freed from sin.
