Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSnapanādi (स्नपनादि) is the name of a Mantra employed during the Śayanādhivāsa-ceremony, as discussed in chapter 27 (Kriyāpāda) 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 [śayanādhivāsa-ādi-vidhāna-ādi]: [...] For śayanadhivāsa purposes a special vedikā-pedestal in the East or South side of the yagamaṇḍapa, appropriately purified and covered with grains, is arranged. [...] After the homa is finished, the Lord is raised up from his couch of rest, offered some pāyasa-gruel (206-208), whereupon bali-offerings are made (209-212a), and a homa with 108 offerings using the snapanādi-mantra is done.
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.
