Source: Wisdom Library: Pancaratra (Samhita list)1) 笔补耻峁补谤补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 (啶啶粪啶曕ぐ啶膏啶灌た啶むぞ) is the name of an ancient P膩帽car膩tra Sa峁僪it膩 mentioned in the 笔补诲尘补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻: the most widely followed of Sa峁僪it膩 covering the entire range of concerns of P膩帽car膩tra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter鈥�箩帽腻苍补, yoga, 办谤颈测腻 and 肠补谤测腻) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.鈥擺Cf. J帽膩nap膩da chapter 1, verses 99-114]鈥擣irst is explained the folly of following more than one Sa峁僪it膩 for a single series of rituals. Then the names of the 108 Tantras of the P膩帽car膩tra corpus are named [e.g., 笔补耻峁补谤补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻]. Even those who repeat these 108 titles will gain salvation.

: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts笔补耻峁补谤补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 (啶啶粪啶曕ぐ啶膏啶灌た啶むぞ) is one of the most famous, perhaps also one of the most ancient, and certainly one of the most respected of the Sa峁僪it膩s in the P膩帽car膩tr膩gama canon. It has assumed a place of authority in the canon along with the Sattvatasa峁僪it膩 and the Jayakhyasa峁僪it膩 as one of the so-called 鈥淭hree Gems鈥�. It is quoted as authoritative by both R膩m膩nuja and Ved膩nta De艣ika. The published version reveals that even in its present state it is a large work鈥攁lmost 5900 艣濒辞办补蝉 divided into forty-three chapters. The frame-work dialogue is between Pau峁ara and Bhagav膩n. In the first twenty-five chapters the Lord instructs Pau峁ara in the means oi mastering the intricacies of 尘补峁囜笉补濒补-designs and their esoteric meanings, presumably as this is part of what is entailed in the 诲墨办峁Ｄ�-initiation rites required of P膩帽car膩tra adherents. Other major blocks of materials are devoted to ordinary and extraordinary worship routines and to the construction and consecration of images and temple buildings. The Pau峁ara-sa峁僪it膩 is held in particularly high esteem by the Arcakas at 艢r墨ra峁単am and at Conjeevaram (the Varadarajaswamy Temple);

The 笔补耻峁补谤补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 is a text in the formal training to be given to aspiring priests or arcakas. The 莫艣vara, P膩rame艣vara and P膩dma-Sa峁僪it膩 are respectively derived from the former three. In all these works, practical injunctions and rituals are interspersed with theological discussions. The 笔补耻峁补谤补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 forms the basis for the worship in the 艢r墨ra峁単a temple (Cf. 莫艣varasa峁僪it膩 I.67).
