Sudarśanamahāmantrabāhyābhantarayāganirṇaya (सुदर्शनमहामन्त्रबाह्याभन्तरयागनिर्णय) (lit. “discussion of the steps for silent and liturgical worship of the sudarśana and narasiṃha-yantras”) is the name of chapter 25 (Kriyākāṇḍa) of the Pārameśvarasaṃhitā: an important Pāñcarātra text of 8700 verses followed closely by the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam—dealing with priestly concerns such as their daily routines, occasional liturgies and expiatory services.—Description of the chapter [sudarśanamahāmantrabāhyābhantarayāganirṇaya]: Sanaka asks to know more about the process of worshipping the yantra. The answer he is given goes into all phases of the daily worship honoring the yantra-empowered icon to Sudarśana (and/or Narasiṃha): how the Ācārya prepares himself, goes to the temple and opens the doors, seats himself before the icon (under which the yantra is depicted), performs nyāsa, etc., and all the other phases of silent worship [mānasayāga] (1-58, 63-80). Then, these things having been done, regular liturgical worship [bāhyayāga] is commenced; it is described up to hernia (81-98a).
