Annotation by Vishnudut1926: It is nearly impossible to find English researches on Shree PanchaRatra (and Vaikhanasa-Agamas) as well as the English translations.
This edition is unique, because it dwells on all the aspects of Shree PanchaRatra:
starting from theoretical part (the refutation of anti-PanchaRatra statements from "Shree Kurma-Purana" or anti-PanchaRatra statements of Shankaracharya in "Shree Vedanta-Sutra) and finishing with the pure praxis (Chapters about Urdhva-Pundra, Archana and etc.)
Some notable Chapters devoted to Acharyas of Shree Ramanuja-Sampradaya (Shree Sampradaya) and Shree PanchaRatra influence on Their Granthas.
Moreover, there is even a Chapter devoted to OM VishnuPad MadhvAcharya in the light of Shree PanchaRatra and Vaikhanas.
The laconic summaries of crucial PanchaRatra Granthas are also attached: "Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", "Shree Ahirbudhnya-Samhita", "Shree Sanat-Kumara-Samhita" and some others.
So, this research is greatly recommended - it took about 2 weeks for me to study this Book - the text is really massive and very insightful to read!
