In Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)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

Cataloged by Poleman as two texts: Gaṇapatimālāmantra and Gāyatrīmālāmantra. Appears in New Cat. Cat. under the incorrect titles Gaṇapatimālātantra and Gāyatrīmālātantra.
