Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)

1) Jayottara (जयोत्तर) is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—[Cf. Jñānapāda chapter 1, verses 99-114]—First is explained the folly of following more than one Saṃhitā for a single series of rituals. Then the names of the 108 Tantras of the Pāñcarātra corpus are named [e.g., Jayottara]. Even those who repeat these 108 titles will gain salvation.

2) Citraśikhaṇḍī (चित्रशिखण्डी) or Jayottarasaṃhitā is classified as a Sāttvika (=Munivākya) type of Pāñcarātra text, according to 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.—[Cf. chapter 10 verses 374-386a].

3) Jayottara (जयोत्तर) or Jayottarasaṃhitā is also mentioned in the Bhāradvājasaṃhitā or “Bhāradvāja-kaṇva-saṃhitā”: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 230 ślokas mainly concerned with basic details concerning temple construction and icon consecration.

Jayottara (जयोत्तर) or Jayottarasaṃhitā is the name of a Pāñcarātra Āgama text.—There seems to survive at least four fragments of an independent work known as Jayottara-saṃhitā—three fragments found in various Utsavasaṃgraha works on celebrations of the Lord’s “birth-date” (perhaps all from chapter ten of the otherwise “lost” work) and the fourth found in Pūjāsaṃgraha (MT. 2856) on prāyaścitta. This partial work should not be confused with the Jayākhyasaṃhitā under scrutiny.—[Cf. Utsavasaṃgraha Adyar TR 569 pp. 327 ff. and 392 ff., and Utsavasaṃgraha, MT. 3286, p. 180 ff]

Jayottara (जयोत्तर) or Jayottarasaṃhitā is the name of a Vaiṣṇava Āgama scripture, classified as a sāttvika type of the Muniprokta group of Pāñcarātra Āgamas. The vaiṣṇavāgamas represent one of the three classes of āgamas (traditionally communicated wisdom).—Texts of the Pāñcara Āgamas are divided in to two sects. It is believed that Lord Vāsudeva revealed the first group of texts which are called Divya and the next group is called Muniprokta which are further divided in to three viz. a. Sāttvika (e.g., Jayottara-saṃhitā). b. Rājasa. c. Tāmasa.

context information

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.
