Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSamīpaprāpti (समीपप्राप्ति) refers to “approaching” (the gem-studded apartment of Viṣṇu), as discussed in chapter 4 of the (third section of the) Bṛhadbrahmasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text containing over 4600 Sanskrit verses dealing primarily with Vaiṣṇava theology and practical matters concerning the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava community but also discussing aspects of Viśiṣṭādvaita philosophy.—Description of the chapter [maṇimaṇḍapa-samīpaprāpti]: Once the released soul reaches viṣṇuloka, he bathes there and cleanses away even his subtle body, becoming four-armed and radiant like Viṣṇu Himself (1-8). [...] Finally, arriving at (samīpaprāpti) the beautiful temple of God, he enters its breathtakingly beautiful precincts and finds a royal welcome awaiting him in which he is given all honors (45-64). Thereupon he is led to and left in the many-pillared apartment of the Lord Himself (65-66).
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.
