In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts1) Sāṃkarya (सांकर्य) refers to “mixture (of a particular mantra with the wrong icon)”, as discussed in the thirteenth chapter of the Parāśarasaṃhitā: a Pañcarātra work of some 2000 verses dealing withe the composition and applications of Mantras, the characteristics of devotees (prapanna) and initiation.—Accordingly, Bhagavān declares He will now describe the mantras of the 24 mūrti-aspects of the Lord—Keśava, et. al.— their nyāsas, etc., inasmuch as these will be useful in pratiṣṭhā. A warning is given to Arcakas not to allow mixture [sāṃkarya] of a particular mantra with the wrong icon during worship; if such things are done it is as sinful as if one were to offer meat and alcohol to the deity! (1-12).
2) Sāṅkarya (साङ्कर्य) refers to “mixtures” (in relation to using icons made by non-Vaiṣṇavites), as discussed in chapter 11 of the Bhāradvājasaṃhitā or “Bhāradvāja-kaṇva-saṃhitā”: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 230 ślokas mainly concerned with basic details concerning temple construction and icon consecration.—[Description of chapter 11]: [...] There follows a brief discussion of sāṅkarya-mixtures in relation to using icons made by non-Vaiṣṇavites, to using rules from more than one āgama, to using materials of different kinds in the production of an icon, and to using a new name for the Lord’s icon formerly called by another name.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
