The hymn Ganesha sahasranama is found in the Ganesha purāna. It is taught to lord Shiva by lord Ganesha himself. The story is given in detail in poorvapeethika that when lord Shiva wanted to destroy the tripurāsura - the demon king with three flying cities, but could not succeed even after enormous efforts, lord Shiva meditated on Ganesha. Then Ganesa appeared before Shiva in his five faced form (panchamukha Ganesha) and initiated lord Shiva with this hymn. This thousand name hymn of ganesha ( ganesha sahasranama ) is one among the powerful hymns on lord Ganesha and it has great importance in the Gānāpatya tradition.Bhāskara rāya mākhin a great shākta scholar and devotee of the mother goddess, a scholar in Vedas, purānas and mantra shāstras had written a wonderful commentary on the hymn.

This book offers a translation of the seven thousand verses of the second book of the medieval Hindu text, the Ganesa Purana, one of two Puranas dedicated to the important elephant-headed god. In this book the reader is given many narratives about Ganesas ascent to earth in order to kill demonic figures who threaten to overthrow the correct world order. In addition, these narratives contain myths about Ganesa's birth and family as well as some extended and quite humorous myths about ideal devotees of the god.The translation is preceded by a long introduction offering a geographical and historical context for the GanesaPurana. Following the translation are very extensive notes which bring our points of philological interest, but focus mainly on the literary structure of the text and the methods used to present the many myths and narratives in a coherent and fully integrated manner.
