श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — कुमारखण्डअथ त्रयोदशोऽध्यायः
Sūta tells the sages that, having heard the wondrous account of Kārtikeya, Nārada, well pleased, asked Brahmā to relate the equally auspicious story of Gaṇeśa's birth. Brahmā begins by noting that, by a difference of kalpa, Gaṇeśa's birth is told even earlier than his own — in that account his head was severed by the glance of Śani and an elephant's head was joined on in its place — but here he will recount the version belonging to the Śveta-kalpa, in which the beheading is done by the compassionate Śiva himself, an act not to be doubted since Śiva, sarvādhipa and both saguṇa and nirguṇa, creates, sustains, and destroys the universe by his own play. Some time after Śiva's marriage and return to Kailāsa, Pārvatī's friends Jayā and Vijayā pointed out to her that, although Rudra's countless gaṇas led by Nandī and Bhṛṅgī were nominally hers too, they were wholly devoted to Śiva's command alone, and urged her to fashion an attendant who would be truly her own; Pārvatī took this to heart, an impression only strengthened when Śiva, on one occasion, brushed past a rebuked Nandī and walked in on her unannounced while she bathed, leaving her flustered. Resolving that she needed a servant who would move only at her own command, Pārvatī later fashioned from the impurities of her own body a flawless, radiant, and mighty young man; having adorned him with garments, ornaments, and blessings and declared him her very own son, she accepted his offer of service by naming him her door-guard, arming him with a staff, and stationing him — now called Gaṇeśa — at her door with strict orders to admit no one without her leave, before going in to bathe with her friends. Śiva then arrived at that very door, and Gaṇeśa, not recognizing him, refused him entry, insisting his mother was bathing and raising his staff to block him; when Śiva, amused but firm, identified himself as the very lord of the house and tried to pass, Gaṇeśa struck him with the staff, provoking Śiva to identify himself again and be struck a second time as he pressed forward, at which point the now-enraged Śiva, halted just outside his own door, called upon his gaṇas to see who this was and settle the matter — setting up the confrontation that continues into the next chapter. सूतजी मुनियोंसे कहते हैं कि कार्तिकेयका अद्भुत चरित्र सुनकर प्रसन्न हुए नारदजीने ब्रह्माजीसे गणेशजीके उतने ही मंगलमय जन्मचरित्रको सुनानेकी प्रार्थना की। ब्रह्माजी बताते हैं कि कल्पभेदसे गणेशजीका जन्म उनसे भी पूर्वका कहा गया है — उस कथाके अनुसार शनिकी दृष्टिसे उनका सिर कट गया था और उसके स्थानपर हाथीका सिर जोड़ दिया गया था — किन्तु यहाँ वे श्वेतकल्पकी वह कथा कह रहे हैं, जिसमें स्वयं कृपालु शिवजीके द्वारा ही शिरच्छेदन हुआ; इसमें सन्देह नहीं करना चाहिये, क्योंकि सर्वाधिप, सगुण होते हुए भी निर्गुण शिव ही अपनी लीलासे सम्पूर्ण विश्वकी सृष्टि, पालन तथा संहार करते हैं। शिवजीके विवाह और कैलास-गमनके कुछ समय बाद, पार्वतीकी सखियों जया-विजयाने उनसे कहा कि नन्दी-भृंगी आदि रुद्रके असंख्य गण यद्यपि नाममात्रको उनके भी हैं, तथापि वे पूर्णतः शिवजीकी आज्ञाके परायण हैं, अतः उन्हें अपना एक सच्चा सेवक बनाना चाहिये; पार्वतीने इसे हितकर माना, और यह भाव तब और दृढ़ हो गया जब एक बार शिवजी नन्दीको डाँटकर स्नान करती हुई पार्वतीके पास असमयमें ही भीतर चले आये, जिससे वे लज्जित हो उठीं। ऐसा सेवक चाहनेके निश्चयसे प्रेरित होकर पार्वतीने अपने शरीरके मलसे एक निर्दोष, तेजस्वी तथा महाबली पुरुषका निर्माण किया; उसे वस्त्र, आभूषण तथा आशीर्वाद देकर एवं अपना पुत्र घोषितकर, उसकी सेवाकी इच्छाको स्वीकार करते हुए उन्होंने उसे द्वारपाल नियुक्तकर लाठी दी और गणेश नाम देकर बिना अपनी आज्ञाके किसीको भी भीतर न आने देनेकी सख्त आज्ञा देकर स्वयं सखियोंके साथ स्नान करने चली गयीं। इसी बीच शिवजी उसी द्वारपर आ पहुँचे, और उन्हें न पहचानते हुए गणेशने उन्हें रोक दिया, यह कहते हुए कि माता स्नान कर रही हैं; कौतुकी शिवजीने अपना परिचय देकर भीतर जाना चाहा तो गणेशने लाठीसे उन्हें मारा, पुनः परिचय देनेपर भी आगे बढ़नेकी चेष्टा करनेपर दूसरी बार भी मारा — इससे अत्यन्त कुपित हुए शिवजी अपने ही द्वारके बाहर रुककर अपने गणोंको यह देखने तथा निर्णय लेनेकी आज्ञा देते हैं कि यह कौन है, जिसका विवाद अगले अध्यायमें आगे बढ़ता है।

अब मैं गणेशजीका उत्तम चरित्र सुनना चाहता हूँ; उनका वह दिव्य जन्मचरित्र सम्पूर्ण मंगलोंका भी मंगल करनेवाला है।
"Now I wish to hear the excellent account concerning Gaṇeśa; that divine birth-story of his is the very auspiciousness of all that is auspicious."

५ कल्पभेदाद्गणेशस्य जनिः प्रोक्ता विधेः परात्। शनिदृष्टं शिरश्छिन्नं सञ्चितं गाजमाननम्॥ ५
kalpabhedādgaṇeśasya janiḥ proktā vidheḥ parāt | śanidṛṣṭaṃ śiraśchinnaṃ sañcitaṃ gājamānanam 5 ||
कल्पभेदसे गणेशजीका जन्म ब्रह्माजीसे भी पहलेका कहा गया है; उस कथाके अनुसार शनिकी दृष्टि पड़नेसे उनका सिर कट गया था और उसके स्थानपर हाथीका मुख जोड़ दिया गया।
"Owing to a difference of kalpa, the birth of Gaṇeśa is declared to have occurred even before Vidhi (Brahmā) himself; [in that account] his head, having come under the gaze of Śani, was severed, and an elephant's face was fixed upon him."
Noteशनिना — Śani (the planet/deity Saturn), whose baleful glance is said in this account to have beheaded the infant Gaṇeśa; a genuine proper name, not a common noun, and distinct from the Śiva-caused beheading narrated for this chapter's own (Śveta-kalpa) telling in verse 6.
कल्पभेदाद्गणेशस्य जनिः (kalpabhedādgaṇeśasya janiḥ) — "the birth of Gaṇeśa, owing to a difference of kalpa,प्रोक्ता विधेः परात् (proktā vidheḥ parāt) — is declared to be even prior to Vidhi (Brahmā)शनिदृष्टं शिरश्छिन्नं (śanidṛṣṭaṃ śiraśchinnaṃ) — [in that account] his head, gazed upon by Śani, was severed,सञ्चितं गाजमाननम् (sañcitaṃ gājamānanam) — and an elephant's face was joined on"

अब श्वेतकल्पमें वर्णित गणेशजीकी उत्पत्तिका वृत्तान्त कहा जाता है, जिसमें कृपालु शिवजीके द्वारा ही उनका सिर काटा गया था।
"Now the birth of Gaṇeśa as told in the Śveta-kalpa is being recounted, in which his head was severed by the compassionate Śiva himself."
Noteश्वेतकल्पः — the Śveta-kalpa, the name of the particular cosmic cycle to which this chapter's own version of the Gaṇeśa-birth story belongs, distinguished here from the "kalpabheda" account of verse 5.
इदानीं श्वेतकल्पोक्ता (idānīṃ śvetakalpoktā) — "now, as told in the Śveta-kalpa,गणेशोत्पत्तिरुच्यते (gaṇeśotpattirucyate) — the birth of Gaṇeśa is being recountedयत्र च्छिन्नं शिरस्तस्य (yatra cchinnaṃ śirastasya) — in which his head was severedशिवेन च कृपालुना (śivena ca kṛpālunā) — by the compassionate Śiva himself"

हे मुने! इसमें कोई सन्देह नहीं करना चाहिये कि शंकर ही सृष्टिकर्ता हैं; क्योंकि वे शम्भु सबके स्वामी हैं, गुणोंसे युक्त होते हुए भी निर्गुण हैं।
"No doubt should be entertained here, O sage, as to Śaṅkara being the creator; for he, Śambhu, is the lord of all, devoid of qualities even while possessed of qualities."
सन्देहो नात्र कर्तव्यः (sandeho nātra kartavyaḥ) — "no doubt should be entertained hereशङ्करस्सूतिकृन्मुने (śaṅkarassūtikṛnmune) — that Śaṅkara is the creator, O sageस हि सर्वाधिपः शम्भुः (sa hi sarvādhipaḥ śambhuḥ) — for he, Śambhu, is the lord of allनिर्गुणः सगुणोऽपि हि (nirguṇaḥ saguṇo'pi hi) — devoid of qualities, even while possessed of them"

उन्हींकी लीलासे यह सम्पूर्ण विश्व उत्पन्न होता है, पालित होता है तथा नष्ट भी होता है, हे मुनिश्रेष्ठ! अब आदरपूर्वक प्रस्तुत कथा सुनिये।

शिवजीका विवाह होकर कैलासपर चले जानेके पश्चात्, कुछ समय बीतनेपर गणपतिका जन्म हुआ।
When Śiva had been married and had gone to Kailāsa, after some length of time the birth of Gaṇapati took place.

[सखियोंने कहा —] रुद्रके सभी गण शिवजीकी आज्ञाके परायण हैं; वे सब यद्यपि हमारे भी हैं, तथापि नन्दी-भृंगी आदिके नेतृत्ववाले हैं।
[The two friends said:] "All the gaṇas of Rudra, led by Nandī and Bhṛṅgī, are devoted to Śiva's command; though they are all ours too—"
