In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Maḍḍuka (मड्डुक) refers to a type of “drum” (used for invoking the gods), as discussed in chapter 35 of the Śrīpraśnasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 5500 Sanskrit verses covering a number of subjects ranging from selecting a temple site through building and furnishing it to sanctifying and maintaining worship in the sacred complex.—[Cf. the chapter kumbhasthāpana-ādi-devatāhvāna-anta-vidhi]. [...] The utsavabera-icon is again brought out, placed in a special maṇḍapa beside a kālacakramaṇḍala-design on which has been placed a maḍḍuka-drum. This instrument is sanctified, whereupon the Ācārya beats it to the accompaniment of invocational stanzas addressed to all the gods to come to mahotsava (25-71). Once this is finished, the gods who have “come” are given bali-offerings in the streets of the village (72-152). Once the drum has been sounded, no citizen should leave the village till the completion of the mahotsava (153-156).
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.

Madduka (मद्दुक) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Maddua.
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
