Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)

Source: eScholarship: Chapters 1-14 of the Hayasirsa Pancaratra

Kubuddhi (कुबुद्धि) refers to “one who is stupid”, representing an undesirable characteristic of an Ācārya, according to the 9th-century Hayaśīrṣa-pañcarātra Ādikāṇḍa chapter 3.—The Lord said:—“I will tell you about the Sthāpakas endowed with perverse qualities. He should not construct a temple with those who are avoided in this Tantra. [...] He should not be stupid (kubuddhi), have a fat lip, be one who spits, or have an indistinct voice, nor have a tumor, nor be a charmer nor be deformed, proud or deaf. [...] A god enshrined by any of these named above (viz., kubuddhi), is in no manner a giver of fruit. If a building for Viṣṇu is made anywhere by these excluded types (viz., kubuddhi) then that temple will not give rise to enjoyment and liberation and will yield no reward, of this there is no doubt”.

Kubuddhi (कुबुद्धि) refers to a “crooked mind”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.29. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] Then inciting the fury of Dakṣa further, she said to Viṣṇu and all other Devas and sages unhesitatingly.. Satī said:—‘[...] Let us not take to your path of egoism as displayed in your sacrificial chambers enjoyed and cast-off by the fire. Ours is the manifest path followed by Avadhūtas. O father, with a crooked mind (kubuddhi) you need not be haughty and conceited’”.
