Runa-Vimochana Ganapati is the form associated with Purvashada Nakshatra.

Runa Vimochana Ganapati is regarded as the 25th among the 32 different forms of Ganapati. The word ‘Runa’ or ‘Rina’ means ‘debt,’ and ‘Mochana’ is ‘getting relieved from.’ Runa Vimochana Ganapati thus denotes the merciful Lord, who helps to mitigate the devotees’ debts – both worldly debts and also the Karmic debts. Thus the grace of this Lord can help to overcome sins, guilt and worldly bondages, and show the way to salvation. He is also referred to as Rinamochaka, which also means the same. He is normally depicted as a crystal image, smooth, pure and milky white in complexion, and dressed in red silk. He has four arms, in which he holds his broken tusk, a goad, a noose and a rose apple, his favorite fruit.

Runa Vimochana Ganapati is a compassionate aspect of the Lord, whose worship, is believed to bestow the devotees with the power to overcome difficulties and march in the path of success.
