Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSipping of Water during Bathing (snāna) is known by the Sanskrit term Ācamana, as discussed in chapter 2 (Kriyakanda) of the Parameshvara-Samhita: an important Pancaratra text of 8700 verses followed closely by the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam—dealing with priestly concerns such as their daily routines, occasional liturgies and expiatory services.—Description of the chapter [snāna-vidhi]: Śāṇḍilya offers to give in detail the procedure that makes one eligible to do yāga and homa. [...] Once the aspirant gets into the water and prays that all holy waters converge there to cleanse him, he does certain mudrās and commences to wash himself doing ācamana-sippings at several points. When he emerges from the water, he does an informal tarpaṇa-rite, offering water to the various gods, etc. (71-121).
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.
