In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsLakṣmīsvarūpaprakāśa (लक्ष्मीस्वरूपप्रकाश) (lit. “concerning Lakṣmī’s own form”) is the name of chapter 14 of the Lakṣmītantra: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 3600 Sanskrit verses exclusively devoted to Goddess Lakṣmī or Śrī (the consort of Viṣṇu) besides dealing with cosmology and practical regarding Vaishnava priests and temple-building programs.
Description of the chapter [lakṣmīsvarūpaprakāśa]: Lakṣmī says that she is both Knower [jñātā] and known [jñeya], hence she can be reflected in the intellects of human beings whose comprehension is limited. The entire epistemological process, indeed, is due to the fact that Lakṣmī so wills for man to be able to think on her. The bulk of the chapter (1-58) is concerned with discussing how the object of knowledge, which is in one sense different from the knower, is accommodated to the mind of the knower. Once again is ascribed to Lakṣmī the facility to effect this identification between that which is to be known and him who knows. The logic of the argument here is to demonstrate that all things known and knowable lead back to Lakṣmī, who is-in this regard-pure Knowledge, its Source and its object as well as the dynamic operating between these.
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.
