The Gītā contains the words \*bhakti\* and \*bhakta\* several dozens of times. It may be stated here that the so-called Nārada-bhaktisūtras, Nārada-pāñcarātra, the Śāṇḍilya-bhakti-sūtra and the several extant Pāñcarātra-saṁhitās so far published are all later than the Gītā.¹⁵⁵⁰ The Agnipurāṇa gives the names of 25 works on Pāñcarātra quoted in the note below.¹⁵⁵¹The Maheśvaratantra names 25 Pāñcarātra tantras promulgated by Viṣṇu, which are condemned therein as having no truth (26. 16 ff.). - [Previous: v7.c91.153](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91.153) - [Next: v7.c91.155](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91.155) - [Up: v7.c91](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91) ## Cites (9) - [Agnipurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.agni) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Bhāgavatapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Māheśvaratantra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.sampradaya.saiva.agama.nibandha.saivanibandha.mahesvaratantra) — Sanskrit - [Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.sampradaya.vaisnava.pancaratra.samhita.brahmaratra.jnanamrtasara) — Sanskrit - [Śāṇḍilyabhaktisūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.sampradaya.vaisnava.bhaktisutra.sandilya) — Śāṇḍilya, Sanskrit - [Nāradabhaktisūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.sampradaya.vaisnava.bhaktisutra.narada) — Nārada, Sanskrit - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Viṣṇupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Bhagavadgītā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.gita) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91.154](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91.154) · Pramāṇa
