Indraviṃśati (इन्द्रविंशति) (in 20 ślokas) is the name of a topic of the stotra-grantha-mālā-division of the collected works of Vasishtha Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni (1878 -1936), according to the essay written by Dr. Sampadananda Mishra (सम्पदानन्दमिश्रः / ସମ୍ପଦାନନ୍ଦ ମିଶ୍ର).—Ganapati Muni (also known as Ayyala Somayajulu Ganapathi Sastry) was a disciple of Ramana Maharshi (இரமண மகரிசி)—an Indian Hindu sage from the 19th century. He was born into a family well-known for its traditional learning and worship of the Divine as Mother (Sri Vidya / Shaktism). His teachings were collected by his disciple, Srivatsa-Natesan, and kept there. Highlighting various categories and topics [e.g., indraviṃśati] [=indraviṃśatiḥ], Dr. Sampadananda Mishra has edited and divided the entire literary storehouse of the sage in his essay called—“vāsiṣṭhagaṇapatimuneḥ sāhityam” (वासिष्ठगणपतिमुनेः साहित्यम्).

Indraviṃśati is a collection of twenty verses, divided in to four sections having 25 verses each. Here Indra is mentioned as the master of the whole animate world. In a verse, Muni prays him to uplift the world from the state of mortality to immortality by removing all fears and sufferings.
