In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
1) Anuyāga (अनुयाग) refers to “routines of food-gathering and feeding”, as discussed in chapter 3 of the Viṣṇutilakasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 3500 Sanskrit verses covering the typically “agamic” subjects which are being narrated by Brahmā to a number of sages.—Description of the chapter [varṇāśrama-dharmanirūpaṇa]: [...] Actual liturgical worship [bāhyārcana] is described step-by-step—[...]. After liturgical worship is finished, anuyāga routines of food-gathering and feeding are to be attended to; only after this may a man himself eat, and then only by following certain ideal habits (443-467). [....]
2) Anuyāga (अनुयाग) refers to a particular worship-ceremony forming part of the “daily liturgy” (Nitya-Vidhi), as discussed in chapter 40 of the Lakṣmītantra: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 3600 Sanskrit verses exclusively devoted to Goddess Lakṣmī or Śrī (the consort of Viṣṇu) besides dealing with cosmology and practical regarding Vaishnava priests and temple-building programs.—Description of the chapter [nityavidhi-prakāśa]: [...] After this, concluding parts of the daily liturgy are described—lokapālakārcana (85-89), pitṛtarpaṇa (90-93) and anuyāga (94-99). The liturgical performances thus over, one should persevere the rest of the day in Vedic and Śāstra recitations (100-103). The remainder of the chapter gives alternatives and concessions for all the foregoing injunctions. (104-120a).
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.
