Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsMūrtiberakathana (मूर्तिबेरकथन) (lit. “telling more about the icons of the avatāras”) is the name of chapter 18 (Kriyāpāda) of 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.—Description of the chapter [mūrtiberakathana]: Bhagavān continues his discourse from the preceding chapter by turning now to the incarnation of Kṛṣṇa. He details first his general characteristics (1-13a), then turns to specific aspects of this deity as Pārthasārathi (13b-18a), as the Bṛndāvana-Kṛṣṇa (18b-21), as the dancing Kṛṣṇa (22-24a), as the serpent-killer (24b-28), et. al. (29-37). He then turns to a description of Kalkin (38-46a). There is then a brief series on the varieties of the Nārāyaṇa aspects of the Lord (46-71).
