Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsMantrapūjāhomavidhi (मन्त्रपूजाहोमविधि) (lit. “rules for pūjā and homa with mantras”) is the name of the fifteenth chapter [third book] of the Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita: a Pāñcarātra text representing a sectarian glorification of Kṛṣṇa and Rādha (i.e., the cult of Radha-Krishna) dated among the latest of the Saṃhitā-type works.—Description of the chapter [mantrapūjāhomavidhi]: Vyāsa here wants to speak of certain “secret matters” and “rules” relating to Kṛṣṇa. First (i-r3) he speaks of dhyāna-meditation on Kṛṣṇa. Then he turns to homa and japa, saying these must be done (14). Next he turns to the “all efficacious” 18-lettered mantra, its meter, presiding deities; followed by certain other mantras, their nyāsas and mudrās (with a certain “prayogic” flavor descernible here, too—15-74).
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.
