Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsMudrābandhana (मुद्राबन्धन) refers to one of the seventy-seven varieties of the Nṛsiṃha-Mantra, according to the fourth chapter of the Īśvarasaṃhitā (baroda edition) also known as the Nṛsiṃhakalpa, a Pāñcarātra work consisting of 640 verses and 14 chapters written in the form of a dialogue between Īśvara and Pārvatī.— According to chapter 4 (verse 59) there are some seventy-seven varieties of the nṛsiṃhamantra, roughly divided into those that are pacific in nature (such as the “anuṣṭup” variety) and those which are of a violent character. The latter type have certain “prayogic” applications. Only two specific varieties are named—“mudrābandhana” and “agniprākāra”—but all the varieties differ from one another according to varying meters, different ṛṣis associated with them, different deities presiding over them, different mudrā-gestures used with them, different dhyāna-meditations employed, etc.
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.
