Tantrasangraha (part 3), Yogatantra-granthamala volume 6, edited by Dr. Ramaprasada Tripathý (Varanasi: Sampurnanand Sanskrit Vishvavidyalaya, 1979). 2. jayAkhya saMhita; Baroda Sayajirao Gaekwad Oriental Library Series; 1931. 7.44 onwards is a vidhi on gaNapati upAsana. The same patala has worship of saraswati & kshetrapAla as well as vishvaksena (i.e. vishvaksena is different from gaNapati). referesthUlA~NgaM ekadamShTraM ca lamboDaraM gajAnanaM | kesareShva~NgaShaTkaM ca patratrayagataM nyaset dhyAyeccaMpaka varNAbhaM baddhapadmAsanaM dvija | karnikAyAM tripatre.abje rakte ShaTkesare shubhe 7.44 (Allusion to gaNapati yantra) Sanatkumara samhita 10.23-29 are the mantras recommended for the worship of rudra. The vidhi is given as addition of pranava in the beginning & namaH in the end for japa of rudra mantras. These mantras are from maitrayaniya samhita, and a variation of these occur in mahanarayana upanishad. If possible, I'll gather more consolidated references.
