Friends,
For anyone planning to learn about or do research on the Vaikhanasa 
Agama, the following two books and one article are absolutely 
essential (in my opinion).  These materials are widely available in 
large research libraries in the United States.

Regards,
Bob Evans


1.    Kâúyapa (Son of Marîci) . :  Kâúyapa's book of wisdom (Kâúyapa-
Jnânakâṇḍaḥ) : a ritual handbook of the Vaikhânasas .  
Translated 
and annotated by T. Goudriaan. :  The Hague : Mouton, 1965. 341 p. ; 
24 cm. 
 
Note: This is a scholarly translation of R. Pârthasârathi Bhattachar
(ya)'s edition of the Sanskrit text. Includes bibliographical 
references.  As far as I know, this is the only translation of a 
Vaikhanasa Samhita into English.

2.   Goudriaan, T.  "Vaikhanasa Daily Worship."  Indo-Iranian 
Journal.  Vol. 12, No. 3/September 1970.  Pages 161-215.

Note: A detailed  and through (54 pages) treatment of  daily worship 
according to the major Vaikhanasa Samhitas.   This is required 
reading for anyone doing research on Vaikhanasa Agama.

3.  Ramesh, M. S. The festivals and rituals at Tirumala 
Temple.Chennai : T.R. Publications, 2000. xviii, 331 p. : ill. (some 
col.) ; 22 cm.

Note: The first part of this book contains an excellent discussion 
of the differences between Vaikhanasa and Pancaratra.
