Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSarvagaṇādhyakṣa (सर्वगणाध्यक्ष) refers to the “presiding officer of all my Gaṇas”, and is used to describe Gaṇeśa, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.18 (“Gaṇeśa crowned as the chief of Gaṇas”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Gaṇeśa: “O son of Pārvatī, I am pleased, there is no doubt about it. When I am pleased the entire universe is pleased. None will be against the same. Since, even as a boy you showed great valour as Pārvatī’s son, you will remain brilliant and happy always. Let your name be the most auspicious in the matter of quelling obstacles. Be the presiding officer of all my Gaṇas (sarvagaṇādhyakṣa) and worthy of worship now”.
