Garuḍapañcākṣarī (गरुडपञ्चाक्षरी) or Garuḍapañcākṣarīkalpa is another name for the Kāśyapasaṃhitā: a text belongs to the Pāñcarātra group of Vaiṣṇava Āgamas and is listed among the one hundred and eight Āgamas mentioned in the Padmasaṃhitā. The Kāśyapasaṃhitā also named Garuḍapañcākṣarī-kalpa, which expounds the Garuḍa mantra, is a unique Āgama in the sense it does not deal with any of the four sections common to Āgamas. Though labelled as a Pāñcarātra treatise, this is atypical of a Pāñcarātra work, too mundane and clinical in content as also less philosophical in comparison with other Vaiṣṇava Āgamas.
