He who performs Vratas like this can secure the desired fruits. O Gaṇeśa (gaṇeśāna), he who performs your worship upto his ability, with faith, shall derive the fruit of all desires. The devotee shall worship you, the lord of Gaṇas with vermillion, sandal paste, raw rice grains and Ketaka flowers as well as with other services. [...]”.
