Dantyāsya (दन्त्यास्य) is another name for Gaṇeśa, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.21 (“Description of the Special War”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] On seeing the army destroyed, the powerful son of the ocean rushed at the Gaṇas in his chariot of waving and wafting colours. Thereat even the defeated Daityas became jubilant. O Vyāsa, they roared much and got ready for the fray. The victorious Gaṇas of Śiva too roared, led by Nandin, Kārttikeya, Gaṇeśa [e.g., Dantyāsya] and Vīrabhadara, O sage. [...]”.
