Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsBhagavadārādhanavidhinirūpaṇa (भगवदाराधनविधिनिरूपण) (lit. “regarding the rules for offering worship to the lord”) is the name of the twenty-eighth chapter of the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā, a Pāñcarātra work in 60 chapters dealing with topics such as Viṣṇu’s discus-power, the processes of creation and esoteric practices related to Sudarśana (such as mantras and yantras).—Description of the chapter [bhagavadārādhanavidhinirūpaṇa]: Śiva (=Ahirbudhnya) says he will now turn to the liturgical worship of God which, when maintained, assures happiness here in this world and a continued existence in the hereafter for the worshipper (1-2). After bathing and attending to other daily duties (3-10), the worshipper then goes to the maṇḍapa (11-17). There on a dias God is approached with stotra-verses and invocations, whereupon the worshipper begins prānāyāma-exercises for his own internal purification (21-29). Vessels to be used are then arranged and appropriately filled for their imminent use (30-36), and the actual pūjā begins by addressing mantras to the deity (mantrāsana) (37-41). This is followed by snanāsana (42-50), alaṅkārāsana (51-61), bhojyāsana, (62-69), a second mantrāsana-cycle (70-73), and a concluding paryaṅkāsana (74-80). The rewards for maintaining this program of worship are described (81-86a).
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.
