In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Bhūgupta (भूगुप्त) or Bhūguptavidhāna is the name of a chapter possibly belonging to the Paramapuruṣasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text in ten chapters composed of 940 verses dealing with the personnel of a temple, their prerequisites and duties, their different ranks, the privileges and responsibilities of each etc.—There seems to be available a number of later chapters that may be added from secondary Pāñcarātra sources. [For example]—A “twenty-second” chapter contains 26 ślokas on bhūgupta-vidhāna (Prāyaścittasaṃgraha, Smith’s Agama Collection) and 5½ ślokas on suṣupti (Pūjāsaṃgraha, MGOML R. 2856); [...] These extra chapters present one with the problem of determining whether they belong to an extended version of the Paramapuruṣasaṃhitā that is presented partially in print, or whether they constitute portions of an otherwise “lost” work of the same name.
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.
