Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (p)Kirīṭavilasat (किरीटविलसत्) refers to “one who is adorned with a crown”, and is mentioned in the meditation on Garuḍa in the Varuṇamaṇḍala, according to the second chapter of the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā (Toxicology).—The Kāśyapasaṃhitā describes the different forms of Garuḍa in the five bhūta-maṇḍalas on which the aspirant has to meditate upon to cure the snake-bite victim from the poison which could have killed him. In the Varuṇa-maṇḍala, Garuḍa is contemplated upon as seated in a pure lotus, marching towards the streams of water (nectar) released from the nectarine pot in his hand, shining with conch and discus, adorned with a pearl necklace, crown (kirīṭavilasat), garland and with two huge teeth like the crescent moon, cooling the victim of snake bite like the Moon.
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
