Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsRādhāmantrakathana (राधामन्त्रकथन) (lit. “recounting the rādhāmantra”) is the name of the ninth chapter [fifth book] of the Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita: a Pāñcarātra text representing a sectarian glorification of Kṛṣṇa and Rādha (i.e., the cult of Radha-Krishna) dated among the latest of the Saṃhitā-type works.—Description of the chapter [rādhāmantrakathana]: Nārada (again) requests information about the rādhāmantra. In reply Śiva gives the mantra (5); then recounts its founding sage, its presiding deity, its meter and the meditation appropriate to it. Worship with it must be attended by the proper paraphernalia and offerings (1-18). He also recommends certain special activities of a vrata-nature on the eleventh day of each fortnight (19-21).
