Ārādhanavidhi (आराधनविधि) refers to “instructions regarding daily rituals” according to the Ahirbudhnya-Saṃhitā.—The Meta-section on Ritual envisages a number of rituals which are presented in the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā as specifically relevant to royal purposes. This special repertoire includes a ritual to aid the conquest of all directions, a ritual to cure various illnesses, a ritual to fulfill all desires and a pacificatory ritual. Apart from these, the other two major procedures described in the saṃhitā are a ritual of initiation and the daily ritual (here simply called ārādhanavidhi, Adhyāya 28).
