Dear scholars,

Taptamudra
​ ​
is considered as
​ ​
one of the five
​ parts of
 
vaiṣṇavadīkṣā (b
āhya). It is referred in the following texts -
  1. Vṛddha-hārīta-smṛti (2nd Chapter)
  2. Viṣṇu-rahasya (7th Chapter)
  3. Cakra-mīmāṃsā by Vijayīndratīrtha
  4. Sanaka-smṛti (viṣṇornuketi mantreṇa tāpayitvā sudarśanam .....)
  5. Pādma-smṛti
  6. Gāruḍa-smṛti
  7. Nārada-smṛti
  8. Vihageśvara-sahitā
  9. Yukti-mallikā of śrīvādirāja (Phalasaurabha, 578 to 650verses)
  10. Kṛṣṇācārya's Smṛti-muktāvalī (While discussing Upanayana-saṃskāra )
  11. Skanda-purāṇa (Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa)

I found all the above information from Prof Sagri Raghavendra Upadhyaya, a renowned Dvaita, Dharmashastra and Purana scholar from Udupi region.
 He has his own publishing house (Paravidyā Prakāśana) and published more than
 50 books.
 One of his work titled
​ ​
Vaiṣṇavadīkṣe
​ ​
[Kannada work] is the source for all these information.


I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Though sources quoted, like Rigveda, Padma Purana etc. , are obviously pre-Madhva, quoting history starts from Sumadhva Vijaya (9-39) , a hagiography of Madhvacharya and the most quoted are Vadiraja's (Vaadiraaja's) Chakrastuti., Yuktimalika.. 

Sumadhva Vijaya is older than 16th century. 

Vadiraja is from 17th century.

Hello Måns, 

     In part you may be dealing with Madhva's citations that are considered to be imagined texts by the critics of the Mādhvas.  For a critique of this practice of Taptamudrādhāraṇa, you can consult Appayya Dīkṣita's Madhvatantramukhamardana and Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita's Tantrādhikārinirṇaya.  Perhaps these critiques contain some discussion of the Madhvaite sources for this practice.

Dear Colleagues,

I am working on a text on Vaishnava rituals (HaribhaktivilAsa) that in one of its chapters deals with taptamudrAdhAraNA. I am wondering what source the mid-16th century author has used. The author refers to several Puranic verses, but also obscure shruti sources such as the yajuHkaThAzAkhA (dhRtordhvapuNDraH kRtacakradhArI...), and atharvan (ebhir vayam urukramasya cihnair...). Such verses sound mAdhva to me, and indeed they can be found in VijayIndra's CakramImAmsA, but that text is a little too late to be the source for my text. My question therefore is, are there any older mAdhva texts dealing with TaptamudrAdhAraNA?

Best regards
Måns
