Ganesha in Ekadanta avatar shows us that intoxication can fill one with pride beyond control. However, Madasura lost his courage in front of the mighty god and surrendered, earning Ekadanta’s forgiveness. Seated on Mooshika, Ekadanta came to wage war against the demon. Sanat Kumara asked them to invoke Ekadanta. The gods turned to the sage, Sanat Kumara, for help.
Armed with these new powers, and high on alcohol and arrogance, Madasura started conquering the three worlds. Madasura performed penance for a thousand years invoking the goddess and received special powers from her.
Pleased by his nephew’s ambition, Shukracharya gave him the Shakti Mantra ‘Hrim’. Madasura told Shukracharya that he wanted to rule the world. Mada was schooled by his uncle Shukracharya, Chyavana’s brother as well as the guru of the asuras. The asura, Chyavana, had a son, Mada, who was fond of madira or alcohol. Ganesha, in his Vakratunda avatar, shows the world that however powerful or rich you are, wisdom lies in knowing and understanding your limits. The Lord forgave him and restored the three worlds. Looking at the mighty god, the demon surrendered and asked for forgiveness. Seated on his vehicle, the lion, Vakratunda arrived and killed both sons of Matsara. He gave all the gods the secret of the monosyllabic mantra, Gam, and asked them to call upon Lord Vakratunda. Finally, Lord Dattatreya came to the rescue. All the gods approached Shiva for help but bound by his own boon, Shiva could not do much. He along with his two sons Sundarpriya and Vishaypriya, conquered the three worlds and created havoc everywhere. After severe penance, Matsarasura received the boon of fearlessness from Shiva. According to the legend, Lord Indra’s pramaada (heedlessness) gave birth to the demon Matsarasura. Ganesha’s first incarnation was as Vakratunda meaning curved trunk. Let’s get to know the stories behind each avatar. Ganesha has an elephant head and trunk in every avatar but he trades his mouse-y vahana Mooshik for other animals in some of his incarnations. But did you know that, according to the Mudgala Purana, Ganesha took eight avatars or incarnations to save the world from demons who personified a dosha or shortcoming in human nature? These doshas are also present in gods and it is through them that the demons were born.
