Nṛsūktopacāranīrājanavidhi (नृसूक्तोपचारनीराजनविधि) (lit. “concerning the elements of regular worship and how and when they are offered”) is the name of chapter 6 (Caryāpāda) 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 [nṛsūktopacāranīrājanavidhi]: Altogether there are some 128 ritual items (21b-47a) that may be offered to the Lord during His worship in order to please Him: e.g., from namaskāra, arghya, pādya, puṣpāñjali, oil-bath, etc., to such attentions as camara-fan, chatra-umbrella, vessels, etc. In certain instances, only 64 elements are employ- ed in worship (47b-57a), or 32 (57b-61), or at the very least 16 (62-64a). The entire chapter concerns itself with detailing these items and indicating when and where these find their place in the rituals of worship. An early passage (10b- 17a) tells how to invoke the presence of God [āvāhana] and the various things to be “offered” in the course of this; a subsequent passage (176-21a) turns to domestic worship, but gives no detail. The remainder of the chapter briefly describes some of the more common upacāra-elements, when and where in the liturgy these come—pādya as accompaniment to every āsana offered (64b-65), madhuparka as a sweet-offering at various points (66), ācamana-sipping (67), the uses and misuses of the ghaṇṭā-bell (68-72a), the varieties of invocations [aṣṭāṅgāvāhana] and when these must be done (72b-76), and the waving of light on a pot known as kumbhanīrājana (77-80).
