Notes:
Bana, the son of asura Mahabali, prays to Shiva to grant him the status of lord of gana-s. Shiva is pleased with him and accords to him the status of gana-pati and blesses that the Narmada Linga-s (Shiva lingas formed naturally in the river bed of Narmada) will henceforth also be known as Banalingas.

The shlokas have been renumbered for readers' convenience.
