Gakārādigaṇeśa sahasranāma is a devotional text dedicated to the elephant headed Hindu deity Gaṇeśa. It is part of the larger work Rudrayāmala tantra. The Ms. contains a total of 160 verses which evoke the 1000 names of the deity. Introductary part of the Ms. cantains speaker titles of deity Pārvatī and Īśvara who is most probably her consort Śiva. There is a nyāsa part in (f.2a) from where the main verses of the text also begin. In the end of the text Girirāja is praised which may be a reference to Gaṇeśa's mother Pārvatī who is known as daughter of the mountains as her name suggests. This Ms. is written in 6 lines per folio. Title taken from the sixth verse (f. 2a). Mistakes are blacked out. Some corrections and in the margins.
