Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsA Tongue-scraper is typically offered to the icon of the Lord as part of “liturgical worship”, as discussed in chapter 6 of the Sattvata-Samhita: one of the most ancient of Pancaratra Agamas consisting of roughly 3500 verses which stresses the theological standpoint of the oneness of God despite his various vyuhas (modes of existence), vibhavas (manifestations) and avataras (incarnations).—Description of the chapter [sūkṣamavyūha-devatā-bahiryāga-vidhi]: The details of how the liturgy step-by-step is prepared for and how it proceeds are given (7-131). [...] A special bathing cloth is advanced (29b), and then various items are given in order (verbally?) to the icon—[e.g., a tongue-scraper] [...]. During these baths incense will have been offered, after which incense-scented and -purified towels are offered to cleanse off the deity’s body-one for the head and one for the body. [...]
