Miscellaneous Notes
śimilar to Cat. no. 140.5. This text gives the list of 16 gaṇapati-s but the description of them contains vighneśvara and nṛtya kinds which are not enumerated and vijaya and maha(ā?) kinds are left off. Herambagaṇapati is dealt with twice, the śloka-s being different. After the 16th śloka which is supposed to have completed the description, mention is made of āśugaṇapati with whose description the text breaks off. An almost similar description of the 16 gaṇapati-s with slight variations in name, order and in enumeration is contained in IFI.T.503, pp. 8-12, IFI.T. 288 pp.294-298 has close agreement with the text. Similarly is the case with IFI.T. 112, pp.91-95
