Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsViṣṇugāyatryādimantroddhāra (विष्णुगायत्र्यादिमन्त्रोद्धार) (lit. “composing the ‘viṣṇugāyatrī-mantra’, etc.”) is the name of chapter 26 (Caryāpāda) of the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—Description of the chapter [viṣṇugāyatryādimantroddhāra]: As for the 24-syllable viṣṇugāyatrī-mantra, this, too, is “composed” in a particular fashion and is to be employed in japa-repetitions by those who desire its wonderful effects. It is at least four times as powerful as an ordinary mantra (1-29). The śrīkarāṣṭākṣara-mantra is also discussed in terms of its composition, analysis, and potency (30-50a). The lakṣmīnārāyaṇa-mantra is likewise discussed in a similar manner (50b-57a). The saṃkarṣaṇa-mantra (57b-69), the pradyumna-mantra (70-74), the aniruddha-mantra (75-79a) and the caturviṃśati-mantra (79b-85a) are each briefly described and discussed in the concluding stanzas of the chapter.
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
