Ganesha naamaavali

[Allen Thrasher]

Dear Mr. Thrapp,

I don't know anything about the "original source" of the Ganesanamavali, 
but would like to warn about assuming there is one, i.e. that one version 
of the text is more primordial than the other(s).  This can't be assumed 
for all Indian texts.

Yours, 

Allen W. Thrasher
