In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsŚrīsūktaprabhāvaprakāśa (श्रीसूक्तप्रभावप्रकाश) (lit. “the greatness of the śrīsūktamantra”) is the name of chapter 50 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 [śrīsūktaprabhāvaprakāśa]: Indra wants to know how to use the śrīsūktamantra in worship (1-4), and Lakṣmī tells how each verse of the mantra is to accompany each of the (15) different phases of worship (5-35). Then comes a section on the derivation and explanation of the 53 different names of Lakṣmī found in the śrīsūktamantra (36-204)—in the midst of which several mantras of special kinds are alluded to after which an eulogy of those who worship with the śrīsūktamantra is given (205-213). Thereupon Lakṣmī commends prapatti-surrender to those who worship her and gain salvation thereby. Prostration should be accompanied by the thought of taking refuge in her grace (214-221). The śrīsūktamantra may be recited at times other than daily liturgical pūjā dedicated to Lakṣmī; some of these occasions are given (222-225). The chapter ends with an eulogy of the Lakṣmī Tantra, described as one which gives mokṣa, as the “best of all” the tantras (226-231), and which should not be given to the undeserving, etc. (232-238a).
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.
