(बल्लाल).—Son of a Vaiśya named Kalyāṇa. From childhood was an ardent devotee of Gaṇapati. When he was a child he used to gather pebbles and make a heap and then worship it, imagining it to be Gaṇeśa (Gaṇapati).

His parents did not like this. They tried their best to dissuade him from this habit. Once they tied him to a tree and gave him severe cuts. But their attempts were futile. One day an image of Gaṇapati arose in the place where the child used to worship. (Gaṇeśa Purāṇa 1:2).
