Kameshwara Mukaloka Kalpita Sri Ganeshwara

Dewi's army battled the demons.

After a while, warriors became docile, peaceful, and stopped engaging the demons. 

"Whatever is the use of conflict? 

Can war solve our problems? 

Let's abide in peace, let's meditate," said the warriors - and left war zone.  

The enemy was winning, without fighting - battleground became empty, silent.

Faced with insubordination, Dewi reflected - looked at Kameswara.

He returned her glance. 

From their vision, a strange looking being became manifest. 

Dewi anointed him as Ganesha- Lord of Ganas, sent him to battle.

Ganesha sensed a device, buried deep, by the enemy.

He ferreted out a Wighna Yantra, rendered it dysfunctional.

The Devas - released from the spell of peace & meditativeness -  returned to battle.

And became victorious.
