Sammohanākhyamantra (सम्मोहनाख्यमन्त्र) is the name of a Mantra discussed in the fourth 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 [mudrānirūpaṇa]: Śiva continues by praising a devoted bhakta who worships in the above manner. Then he turns (almost as an afterthought) to the sammohanākhyamantra, praising its power, before describing the benefits [phala] that come to those who worship according to the manner just described (1-26).
