In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsNyāsāparaparyāyaprapattinirūpaṇa (न्यासापरपर्यायप्रपत्तिनिरूपण) (lit. “the chapter dealing with prapatti-surrender, or nyāsa”) is the name of the thirty-seventh 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 [nyāsāparaparyāyaprapattinirūpaṇa]: Nārada asks why it is that one must undertake the routines of worship at all, and Ahirbudhnya replies that such worship does good. Not only during times of danger, but at other times also one should worship the sixteen-armed Sudarśana—and this applies particularly to kings (1-21). Hearing this, Nārada says that he would now like to know about “nyāsa” as a discipline, and Ahirbudhnya tells him that whosoever would surrender to the Lord must manifest six qualities—namely: an intense hope that prapatti will be successful, an abandonment of undesirable practices, a deep conviction that God will indeed save one, a sincere petition to Him as Protector, a surrender of oneself, and an admission of ones helplessness (28-29). Who does this “nyāsa” completely and successfully need not do the other things like going on pilgrimages, undertaking vratas, presenting dāna-gifts, etc. ( 22 57).
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.
