Yes apart from Hatha Yoga Pradipika a text called The Yoga Yajnavalkya is describing these asanas. Yoga Yajnavalkya is a dialog between well known Rishi Yajnavalkya and Gargi a Brahmavadini.
Chapter three of Yoga Yajnavalkya is describing list of eight asanas in detail procedure with procedure. These Asanas are Svastikasana , Gomukhasana , Padmasana , Virasana ,Simhasana ,Bhadrasana ,Muktasana and Mayurasana. As well as variations of these Asanas. I am posting some of them with shlokas.
याज्ञवल्क्य उवाच :
आसनान्यधुना वक्ष्ये शृणु गार्गि तपोधने ।
स्वस्तिकं गोमुखं पद्मं वीरं सिंहासनं तथा ॥ १ ॥
भद्रं मुक्तासनं चैव मयूरासनमेव च ।
तथैतेषां वरारोहे पृथग्वक्ष्यामि लक्षणम्
॥२॥
Yajnavalkya said : Now i will describe the Asanas .Gargi rich in
austerity ,listen to me . Svastikasana , Gomukhasana , Padmasana ,
Virasana ,Simhasana ,Bhadrasana ,Muktasana and Mayurasana. I will
describe these asanas one by one .
Swastik Asana
जानोर्वोरन्तरे सम्यक्कृत्वा पादतले उभे ।
ऋजुकायः सुखासीनः
स्वस्तिकं तत्प्रचक्षते ॥ 3 ॥
Having correctly placed the soles of both the feet between the thighs
and knees , one should sit (comfortably) balanced and straight -bodied
.This is called Swastikasana.
Gomukha Asana
दक्षिणेऽपि तथा सव्यं गोमुखं गोमुखं यथा ।
अङ्गुष्ठौ च
निबध्नीयाद्धस्ताभ्यां व्युत्क्रमेण तु ॥ 6 ॥
Place the right ankle beside the buttok , on the left , and the
(ankle) at the right .This is Gomukhasana. Resembling the face of cow.
Mayur Asana
समुन्नतशिरःपादो दण्डवद्व्योम्निसंस्थितः ।
मयूरासनमेतत्तु
सर्वपापप्रणाशनम् ॥सर्वपापप्रणाशनम् ॥16॥
Placing the palms of the hands firmly on the ground and keeping the
elbows at the side of the naval with the head and legs raised ,
staying in space (off the ground) - this is Mayurasana ,which destroys
all impurities.
So Yoga-Yajnavalkya is describing these asanas.Here are Sanskrit verses of
Yoga Yajnavalkya
