Summary

Short tracts of text (Gāyatrīmālāmantra, Gāyatrīstavarājastotra [the largest], and Gāyatryaṣṭottaraśatanāman) purporting to belong to the Viśvāmitrakalpa. F. [5] seems independent, containing mantras of Gaṇapati, Śarabheśvara [Śarabha], and Vaṭayakṣiṇī.

Notes

• Attributed to Viśvāmitrakalpa in colophons ff. [1v, 5v], etc. Title Gāyatrīstavarājastotra appears f. [3v], with alternative title Gāyatrīstavarājamantra on f. 1v. Cataloged by Poleman as two texts: Gaṇapatimālāmantra and Gāyatrīmālāmantra. Appears in New Cat. Cat. under the incorrect titles Gaṇapatimālātantra and Gāyatrīmālātantra.
