A unique, first-ever catalogue on the
Pancaratra Samhita with inventories and details of 460 samhitas.
This valuable catalogue in English will be immensely useful for
foreign scholars, and the remarks in Sanskrit with its English version
will be of great appeal to Indian scholars. By the blessings of
Pramukh Swami Maharaj a tremendous effort was made by Sadhu Parampurushdas
and Sadhu Shrutiprakashdas in preparing the catalogue.

- Today is indeed a very happy day
for me. I am really fortunate that this Catalogue has been published
during my lifetime. My services in the AARSH have been fruitful.
No such research has been carried out since last many years. This
work will provide a new direction for the research in the Pancharatra
literature.

To my great surprise
and joy I found after my return from India that you had sent
me the 'Catalogue of Pancaratra Samhita'. It represents, indeed,
a great scholarly achievement. Every scholar working on sampradayas
following the Pancaratra will welcome this publication. So far,
academic studies have only touched the tip of this iceberg of
material. I am sure that the publication will boost work on
the problems of Pancaratra.
Speaking for myself, I may add that these days I am involved
with 18th century attempts to harmonise vedic and Vaishnava
positions in the kingdom of Jaipur. The debates surrounding
this issue rely heavily on Pancaratric testimony. You can, therefore,
easily imagine how pertinent the Catalogue is to this type of
work.
I thank you therefore most warmly, congratulate you and the
editors and may assure you that I will be an avid user of the
Catalogue

- I have received three copies of
'Catalogue of Pancaratra Samhita' [Amdavad : Swaminarayan Aksharpith,
2002-ISBN:81-7526-206-0], for which my many thanks. I am very
glad to see that serious scholars like yourself have taken up
studies of Pancaratra texts and that, further, you take such great
pains to share your knowledge with other scholars through publication
of your work. I am hopeful that this work will prove very valuable
to scholars, present and future, in India and abroad.

- It is the nature of saints that
they dedicate their resources and efforts for the wellbeing of
others. AARSH, under the guidance of Maharaj Pramukh Swamiji,
has undertaken projects of great academic value "Catalogue
of Pancharatra Samhitas" so carefully and painstakingly prepared
by Sadhu Parampurushdas and Sadhu Shrutiprakashdas is a wonderful
gift of AARSH to the scholarly world. Please give my compliments
to these scholars. This catalogue will be a very helpful tool
for the scholars working in the field of Vaishnav Agama literature.
