This god was attacked by one of the avatars of Vishnu, Rama-with-an-axe. He won his wives in a contest to circumnavigate the earth with his brother; he won by travelling mentally through study while Kartikkeya trudged on foot. Those wives, who represent prudence and wisdom, are Siddhi and Buddhi. This god's mother asked Sani to look at him as a newborn, even though Sani was cursed to destroy anything he gazed upon; that, combined with his task of guarding the cave where his mother Parvati was bathing, led to his present appearance. For 10 points, name this remover of obstacles who has a one-tusked elephant's head.
