Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsDivyasnāna (दिव्यस्नान) refers to a type of Snāna (spiritual bath), as discussed in chapter 2 (Kriyākāṇḍa) of the Pārameśvarasaṃhitā: an important Pāñcarātra text of 8700 verses followed closely by the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam—dealing with priestly concerns such as their daily routines, occasional liturgies and expiatory services.—Description of the chapter [snāna-vidhi]: Śāṇḍilya offers to give in detail the procedure that makes one eligible to do yāga and homa. [...] Then he gives some gauṇasnāna-alternatives to taking a regular bath when normal circumstances are not present or when one is otherwise unable to bathe in water, [e.g., divyasnāna (130b-131a)] [...]. The chapter concludes by saying that one may proceed to other daily obligations only after the bathing has been attended to (1366-138).
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.
