The H. Daniel Smith Agama Collection consists of copies of Sanskrit books and manuscripts relating to Pancaratra studies which now forms part of the the John G. White Collection of Orientalia at the Cleveland Public Library. Smith described his collection, mostly excerpts from original books and manuscripts in Indian libraries and research centers transcribed under his direction during the 1960s and 1970s, in his The Smith Agama Collection: Sanskrit Books and Manuscripts Relating to Panacarata Studies, A Descriptive Catalog (Syracuse University Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs: Foreign and Comparative Studies / South Asian Special Publication 2, 1978). Smith's introduction to the catalog sets forth details of the intent, extent, and creation of his collection; a copy of the book is located in the Libraries' general collections (Z7835.B8S623). University of Iowa Professor Claude Setzer selected certain items described in section I of the Smith catalog as "primary texts of the Panacaratragama," primarily transcriptions made from printed books, and obtained photocopies of these texts from the Cleveland Public Library. These photocopies comprise the present collection. The photocopies are arranged in the order in which they are described (in detail) in the Smith catalog. Three pieces of information have been taken from Smith's table of contents: title of the text; description of the original format; and the page number on which Smith's full description begins.
