岹ṅmܰ (उदङ्मु�) refers to �(facing towards) the north�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.17 (“The Resuscitation of Gaṇeśa�).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to the Gods: “Then they carried out Śiva’s behests and acted accordingly. They brought the headless body of Gaṇeśa and washed it well. They paid homage to it and started towards the north (ܻ岹ṅmܰ). It was a single-tusked elephant that they met. They took the head and fitted it to the body. After joining it, the gods bowed to Śiva, Viṣṇu and Brahmā and spoke—‘What has been ordered by you has been carried out by us. Let the task left incomplete be performed now’�.
