Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSuṣuptivyūha (सुषुप्तिव्यूह) refers to a particular aspect (mūrti) of God, discussed in the twenty-fourth chapter of the Īśvarasaṃhitā (printed edition), a Pāñcarātra work in 8200 verses and 24 chapters dealing with topics such as routines of temple worship, major and minor festivals, temple-building and initiation.—Description of the chapter [mudrā-lakṣaṇa-bhagavaddhyāna-ādi-prakāra]: [...] Nārada then turns to the fourth question posed by the sages, this concerning the disciplined state of mind [dhyāna] to be achieved while uttering mantras to various aspects [mūrti] of God. He answers that the single, ekamūrti-aspects require one particular type of dhyāna-contemplation with the appropriate mantras being employed (73-84a); dvītiyamūrti etc. (84b. ff.) others. In addition, the suṣuptivyūha-aspects require still other kinds of mental appreciation in contemplating God and His activities; svapnavyūha-forms of God, yet others; and jāgradvyūha-forms of God yet again others (up to 129).
