^^^ This version shows Ganesh had first of all compeleted Suryadev, Vayudev's tasks of providing air & light to the World. then he went ahead with his daily task of doing puja & taking blessings of his parents. The rope got stucked in his vaahan Mushak's leg, so he didn't even trouble his vaahan much.
As per the original story he then made his parents sit together & did their pradakshina. Other Devas followed the superficial understanding of doing 3 parikramas, where as Ganesh showed the actual meaning of parikramma of sansar. It's like what one looks for in the entire World is ultimately found withing one's self.Devas didn't protest because they realised they were at fault, joining this compition leaving their duties which is essential for the World.A true Deva is the one who thinks of other's first, like Mahadev. Here Ganesh proved he too has the same quality. So he is truly the winner.
Best explanation. I agree with you. One has to not think of self goals especially in position of power but to do what is best for the sansaar. I love Ganesh.😊
