In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsNityavidhiprakāśa (नित्यविधिप्रकाश) (lit. “regarding rules for daily practices”) is the name of chapter 40 of the Lakṣmītantra: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 3600 Sanskrit verses exclusively devoted to Goddess Lakṣmī or Śrī (the consort of Viṣṇu) besides dealing with cosmology and practical regarding Vaishnava priests and temple-building programs.
Description of the chapter [nityavidhiprakāśa]: Continuing with the discussion of the akṣamālā-rosary Lakṣmī tells (1-17) how it is to be sanctified for use. Also she gives a brief description of the ghaṇṭā-bell used for worship (19-29) before she returns to the daily procedures for the worship rites. In these we are given a description of homa-rites—including kuṇḍa-measurements (31-35), steps in the liturgy of fire-offerings, etc. (36-84). After this, concluding parts of the daily liturgy are described—lokapālakārcana (85-89), pitṛtarpaṇa (90-93) and anuyāga (94-99). The liturgical performances thus over, one should persevere the rest of the day in Vedic and Śāstra recitations (100-103). The remainder of the chapter gives alternatives and concessions for all the foregoing injunctions. (104-120a).
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.
