In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsHiraṇyaśrāddha (हिरण्यश्राद्ध) refers to a “substitute form of śrāddha with money-offering instead of food”, as discussed in chapter 7 (Kriyākāṇḍa) of the Pārameśvarasaṃhitā: an important Pāñcarātra text of 8700 verses followed closely by the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam—dealing with priestly concerns such as their daily routines, occasional liturgies and expiatory services.—Description of the chapter [pitṛsaṃvibhāga-vidhāna]:—[After agnikārya] the Ācārya terminates this portion of worship and, without undue delay, he moves on to the next portion of the liturgy, namely pitṛsaṃvibhāga (oblations to the forefathers). [...] The abbreviated or substitute form of śrāddha called hiraṇyaśrāddha (with money-offering instead of food) is then mentioned (364-7). Continuing daily worship balidāna-offerings are next attended to, first by making offerings to the parivāra-deities, then to the balipīṭha (375-404).
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
