In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsĀcāryalakṣaṇāṅkurārpaṇavidhi (आचार्यलक्षणाङ्कुरार्पणविधि) (lit. “rules regarding the selection of an Ācārya, and for germination of seedlings”) is the name of chapter 24 (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 [ācāryalakṣaṇāṅkurārpaṇavidhi]: The first part of the chapter (1-25a) turns to the prerequisites for the director [ācārya] of all rituals. He should be either a brahmacārin, gṛhastha or vānaprasthin, well-informed in the (Pāñcarātra) traditions, attractive and healthy, morally blameless, properly initiated, etc. Having been selected by the Yajamāna-patron, and having seen to the requirements of the temple and the icons, the Ācārya is thus ready to begin the institution of daily worship routines. The second part of this chapter (25-99) turns to the rituals of sprouting seedlings: why, when, where and how it is to be done and the mantras which accompany it. These rituals should be attended to whenever an important ritual is going to be undertaken—and done 12, 9, 7, 5, 3 days ahead of time (25b-99).
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.
