Eka Dantha stotram


There are several stories about how Lord Ganapathi lost one of his tusks. One of them says that he broke one of his tusks and used it to kill Gajamukhasura. Another says that when Veda Vyasa requested him to write Mahabaratha, he broke one of his tusks and used it as a pen to write the story on rock. Yet another one says, that once he had to fight with Lord Parasurama and he lost it during the war.
