Namaste,
Approach Shri.Bharati Tirtha Swamiji of Sringeri with humility and place before His Holiness your request. If Swamiji is convinced with your sincerity, then He would help you. It is available in manuscript form in Sringeri Library.
His Holiness would give access to the library and would send one of His disciples (mostly shri.narahari bhatt, the prAdhAna srividyOpAsaka who performs the morning chandramoulishwara puja) to escort you. One has to read the copy in his presence only. Copying / taking notes are not permitted.
However, swamiji would ask questions personally regarding the purpose of enquiry etc.
regs,
sriram

While the specific text Katyayani Tantra may provide some 'special mantras' and methods', the foundational approach to tantra does not change from 'Maha nirvana Tantra is incorrect please read the studies done on Tantra. I donot want to enter into any debate I Just emntioned

Mahanirvana tantra is not an ancient and traditional one. It is well known that it was composed only in the 18th ? century.

Nagaraj Paturi
Mahaswamigal of Sringeri, is preserved by Sri Narahari Bhatt. This book lays down the rules &
regulations of Chandi Parayana & Chandi Homa and Sringeri Pitha ONLY follows this book that was edited by
HH Nrisimha Bharati.
Nagaraj Paturi
incorporations and refinements done by Shri Nrisimha Bharati and Sivabhinava
Nrisimha Bharati Swamigal.
This is what i have been told by Shri Narahari Bhatt, Shri Krishna Bhatt (Veda
Pathashala Principal at Sringeri) and Shri Navin Holla (my close friend who is a
tarka acharya at Sringeri).

Namaste Ajit Gargeswari ji
1. On Katyayani Tantra: Text availability, yes, the question raised in the original post is answered. Additional details were provided in response to the response posts in the thread, when the singled out pointed reference was made to Sringeri Matham. I wondered why some Shakta school of Kerala, Bengal, Kashmir or Tibetan or Nepal source did not surface ! Katyayani is one form of Durga worship, which is prevalent all over India.
2. Regarding < Foundational approach that runs common to all Tantras / How Arthur Avalon has represented the Tradition of Tantra, authentically and deeply linked to the practices at Sringeri Sampradaya’ can be verified from the series of works by Him.
In writing the line mentioned above, I had in mind, some of the major tantra works – Prapancha Sara samgraha ( attributed to Shankaraacharya (?), Bhaskararaya’s writing on Kularnava Tantra , Mantra mahodadhi et al, ( and of course, Abhinava Guptas writings on Kashmir Saivism and Tantra) which does present the common foundation; An integral part of tantra traditional practice deeply linked with Agama, Nigama and Yoga-Samskrutham as the Mantra language(Vak-Yoga). The statement < the foundational approach to tantra does not change from 'Maha nirvana Tantra > is made after due studies and affirmation from traditional knowledgeable practicing sources and authorities.
Traditional practitioners do not adduce much weight for ‘ modern studies guidance’ on Tantra as a ‘path for ecstasy’ and ‘massage’. Nor Traditional Tantra teaching can be subject to academic analysis for creating a citation reference resource like- White, David Gordon. Tantra in practice. Vol. 8. Motilal Banarsidass Publ., 2001. [ Book available for reading at url: https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=hayV4o50eUEC&oi=fnd&pg=PR5&dq=tantra+studies&ots=ZiRjBxEXqj&sig=I5--PpmaNxPzeP6Oo8VXbP77uvY#v=onepage&q=tantra%20studies&f=false ].
It is left to the discretion and intention of original post writer, on how they plan to study the text. It is not for me to make any uncalled for suggestion on how to study the text. Or even whom to approach and with what mind-set.
3. May be this issue is not right to be discussed on the forum and public space. I am always open for a private mail exchange if any more clarifications are needed.

BVK Sastry
