Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

Maṇḍapadarśana (मण्डपदर्शन) or Muktimaṇḍapadarśana (lit. “the vision of the abode of release”) is the name of chapter 5 of the (third section of the) Bṛhadbrahmasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text containing over 4600 Sanskrit verses dealing primarily with Vaiṣṇava theology and practical matters concerning the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava community but also discussing aspects of Viśiṣṭādvaita philosophy.—Description of the chapter [mukti-maṇḍapadarśana]: The bulk of this chapter is devoted to a description of the great pavilion in which the Lord abides—its special features, its furnishings, its luxurious fragrances and entertainments, its eternal inhabitants who live there in rapturous devotion to the Master, etc. (1-31). The closing ślokas turn to certain philosophical reflections in the form of metaphorical comparisons applied to the spiritual life; and also certain miscellaneous details are mentioned (that no one there exceeds the age of sixteen, that all services of devotion are zealously undertaken by the devotees there, etc.) (32-43).
