Gāgā Bhaṭṭa composed a regulatory text, titled *Śrīśivarājyābhiṣeka-prayoga*, for the occasion of coronation. He incorporated *mantras* from *Atharvaveda*, *Aitareya Brāhmaṇa*, *Viṣṇudharmottara Purāṇa* and other tetxs in it. Yet another manual for the coronation ceremony, entitled *Śrīśivarājyābhiṣekakalpataru*, was prepared under the direction of Niścalapurī having affiliation to Tantric traditions. Madhavi Narsalaya has shown that the coronation ceremony had to be carried twice under strange circumstances.⁵³
