Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)

Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

Avyavahita (अव्यवहित) refers to “that practice of worship wherein one is reverent to all reality without distinction”, as discussed in the thirteenth chapter of the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā, a Pāñcarātra work in 60 chapters dealing with topics such as Viṣṇu’s discus-power, the processes of creation and esoteric practices related to Sudarśana (such as mantras and yantras).—[Cf. the chapter pramāṇārtha-nirūpaṇa]: [...] Practice (in the form of a worshipful attitude) may also itself be of two kinds—that wherein one is reverent to all reality without distinction (avyavahita), and that wherein one is devoted to particular forms or manifestations of the cosmic reality as deity (vyavahita) (12-22). Śiva then turns to an evaluation of the better-known systems of philosophy and ways of life in terms of their direct or indirect access to the final goal. Among those which he classifies as avyavahita are the systems founded by certain sages who established an uninflected mode of apprehending ultimate reality—e.g., Pāñcarātra and (possibly?) Sāṃkhya—while those which are vyavahita are systems founded by certain sages who established a mediated or indirect apprehension of ultimate reality—e.g., Veda, Vedānta, Pāśupata (23-31). [...]
