Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSudarśanamahāmantra (सुदर्शनमहामन्त्र) refers to the “great mantra named sudarśana”, as discussed in chapter 32 (Caryāpāda) of the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—Description of the chapter [sudarśanamahāmantra-vaibhava]: An especially potent mantra is the sudarśanamantra. This chapter begins with instructions for composing the mantra and for meditating upon it (2-31a), and special rules for those who are going to do japa-repetitions with it (31b-32a). The remainder of the chapter contains detailed instructions as to the employment of this mantra for specific, “prayogic” ends (32-284).

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
