Digital versions are hosted on several platforms, though "exclusive" often refers to rare scans of these specific scholarly out-of-print or niche editions. The Mantra Mahodadhi of Mahidhara - Motilal Banarsidass
The only reliable English translation of substantial portions was published in 1903 by Srisa Chandra Vasu (in his The Hindu Mantras series). A full PDF of that volume is occasionally found on academic repositories (e.g., DLI, Archive.org) under the title “Mantra Mahodadhi – Translated into English – Vol 1” . However, even this is rare and missing some chapters.
