Īśvarapraṇīta (ईश्वरप्रणीत) refers to “God-given”.—The (Pāñcarātra) Āgamas, like the Vedas, are revealed scriptures, apauruṣeya, and īśvarapraṇīta (God-given). They possess self-validity or svataḥpramāṇa. Hence the name ‘Bhagavatśāstra’ and ‘mantra tantra samuccaya’,–the combination of knowledge, encompassing in itself, both theory and practice.
