In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsMaṇimaṇḍapa (मणिमण्डप) refers to the “gem-studded apartment (of Viṣṇu)”, as discussed in chapter 4 of the (third section of the) Bṛhadbrahmasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text containing over 4600 Sanskrit verses dealing primarily with Vaiṣṇava theology and practical matters concerning the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava community but also discussing aspects of Viśiṣṭādvaita philosophy.—Description of the chapter [maṇimaṇḍapa-samīpaprāpti]: Once the released soul reaches viṣṇuloka, he bathes there and cleanses away even his subtle body, becoming four-armed and radiant like Viṣṇu Himself (1-8). [...] Finally, arriving at the beautiful temple of God, he enters its breathtakingly beautiful precincts and finds a royal welcome awaiting him in which he is given all honors (45-64). Thereupon he is led to and left in the many-pillared apartment (maṇimaṇḍapa) of the Lord Himself (65-66).
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 to German]
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.
