In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsViṣṇubhakta (विष्णुभक्त) refers to “(the worship of) Vaiṣṇava saints”, as discussed in the eighth chapter of the Īśvarasaṃhitā (printed edition), a Pāñcarātra work in 8200 verses and 24 chapters dealing with topics such as routines of temple worship, major and minor festivals, temple-building and initiation.—Description of the chapter [garuḍādi-parivāra-arcana-vidhi]: [...] Vaiṣṇava saints [viṣṇubhaktas] may be worshipped by devotees—why this is to be done, how their icons are to represent them and where their shrines within a temple’s precincts should be located are given (175-182). This is followed by a step-by-step directive for the liturgy of their worship (186ff., 213-227), interspersed with instructions for producing their mantras (183-185) and a description of their appearances for meditational—and iconographical—purposes (209-212).
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.
