In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsNiṣekādiśmaśānāntasaṃskāravidhi (निषेकादिश्मशानान्तसंस्कारविधि) (lit. “rules for observing the sacramental acts from conception to cremation”) is the name of the twenty-ninth chapter of the Nāradīyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra document comprising over 3000 verses in 30 chapters presenting in a narrative framework the teachings of Nārada to Gautama, dealing primarily with modes of worship and festivals.—Description of the chapter [niṣekādiśmaśānāntasaṃskāravidhi]: Gautama asks Nārada about the saṃskāra-sacraments appropriate for initiates (1). Nārada briefly tells when and how various saṃskāras are to be done: garbhādhāna (2-3a), puṃsavana (3b-4), sīmanta (5-6), jātakarman (7-10a), nāmakarman and upanaiṣkramaṇa (10b-11), annaprāśana (12), cūḍākarman (13), upanayana and dīkṣā (14-21), and upayamana (22-27a). Nārada then counsels that in the proper order and time one is to take the āśrama-phases of vānaprastha and sannyāsa (27b-28a), and then should cast off his body through Yogic-discipline. When such a person and he is properly to be called a “Bhāgavata”—dies, then the appropriate measures for the sacrament of śmaśāna should be taken (28b-36a). The chapter closes with the general remarks that only pāñcarātra-mantras—which are professed to be Vedic in character, whether traceable to the Vedas or not—are to be used in the saṃskāra-routines (36b-40).
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.
