[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Granthibheda in Pancaratra glossary
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

Granthibheda (ग्रन्थिभेद) refers to “types of Knots�, as discussed in the twenty-third chapter of the Agastyasaṃhitā (ٲⲹ-īṣṇ-ṃv岹 edition), an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with the worship of Rāma, Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumān.—[Cf. the chapter Գٳ󾱲岹-ṣaṇa]:—Agastya says there are certain great sinners, of course, who cannot see this truth; only those with penetration can see through to the truth in all things—they are the īԳܰٲ. But they became so discerning only because they practised yoga, whereupon Agastya returns to his original topic, breath-control. He tells how to do it. One of the aims of the breathing exercises is gradually to “untie� each of the five “knots� [granthi] in the body. Once the “knot� in the heart has been “untied� a person will know all things—the past, the future, etc. Going even farther when are untied all the five “knots�, only then will that person's birth [janma] become purposeful. Such will be the destiny of him who displays indifference [岵ⲹ], who is unattached [ٲ岵] and saintly [ԲԲ]. Such a person is to be regarded just as Rāma Himself.
