Mantradvayārādhananirūpaṇa (मन्त्रद्वयाराधननिरूपण) (lit. “a discussion concerning worship with the ‘twin-mantras’”) is the name of chapter 6 of the (second 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 [mantradvayārādhananirūpaṇa]: Continuing from the preceding chapter, the dvayamantra may be employed in worship by using a maṇḍala, and instructions are given for constructing the design, meditating on it and upon the mantra, etc. (1-12). As part of this worship, the rādhikānāmastavarāja-stotra (13-51a) is to be used, as is the kṛṣṇanāmaśata-stotra (51b-76a). Both of these stotras are given eulogies for their virtues (51b-54a), (76b-78).
