BTW, what is the view on who is anya devata?

praNAms
Hare Krishna

Those anya devata-s are, as per bhAshya vinAyaka & sapta mAtrukA-s...But 
in all propability the vinAyaka here may not be the popular devata pArvati 
putra, mUshika vAhana gaNapati or gaNesha, shankara might be referring 
here some tAntrikOpAsita vinAyaka.  This guess is worth  because there are 
numerous hymns on vedOkta gaNapati attributed to shankara bhagavatpAda.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
bhaskar
