By "They" he means Sage Markandeya, who in Vishnu Dharmottara Purana(Pt 3,Ch 71,13-16) says, a Murti of Vinayaka is represented-"the face of an elephant and four hands. A trident and the rosary should be placed in the right hands, an axe and a vessel full of sweets in the left."+

+ By "They", he also means Mahesvara Himself, who in Skanda Purana (Kedarakhanda, Ch 11) speaks on how Ganesa is to be worshipped.
The worship ought to be on the 4th day (Chaturthi) of every fortnight (Paksha). #GaneshChaturthi2022
In the 10 hands of Ganesa, Mahesvara says,+

In the 10 hands of Ganesa, Mahesvara says,+
In the 10 hands of Ganesa are noose, axe, lotus, goad, tusk, rosary, ploughshare, pestle, varada mudra, and a vessel containing modakas.
The iconography of Ganesa, as with that of other deities, is quite well-established, through various texts that go back at least a millenium and half. 
A resolve to not let them (them being whoever your imaginary demons are) get away, is essentially to deny the very texts that have bequeathed us the iconography, liturgy and rituals.
