summary:
  en: Gaṇapatyatharvaśīrṣa is a minor upaniṣad text according to the Muktika Upaniṣad classified as a Śaiva Upaniṣad based on the Atharvaveda. It is typical of Śaiva Upaniṣads to associate supreme deities like Śiva with the ultimate reality which is Brahman. In this text it associates it with elephant headed deity Gaṇeśa. The text is a later medieval period upaniṣad which contains themes similar to the Gaṇeśapurāṇa, which is estimated to be older than this though upaniṣadic texts are generally older than purāṇic texts even later period ones. The text is commonly used for religious purposes like the festival of Gaṇeśa Caturthi. This Ms. is written in 15 lines per folio. Title present in the beginning of the text as well as the colophon (f. 2a). Mistakes are blacked out. Some corrections present in the margins.
