Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsDīkṣābhiṣeka (दीक्षाभिषेक) refers to one of the topics discussed in the eighteenth chapter of the Agastyasaṃhitā (agastya-suīkṣṇa-saṃvāda edition), an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with the worship of Rāma, Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumān.—[Cf. the chapter pūjāsādhanalakṣaṇa].—[...] One should offer pūjā with devotion [bhakti] and orderliness [saṃkalpa]. [...] Agastya summarizes by saying that so far he has instructed Sutīkṣṇa in the following: pūjā, japa, homa, mantra, dīkṣābhiṣeka and pūjopakaraṇalakṣaṇa. He suggests that such instruction should not be given to those who are not devoted to Viṣṇu.
