Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Prabodhayātrā (प्रबोधयात्रा) refers to “awakening ceremonies for the Goddess”, as discussed in chapter 11 of the (first section of the) Bṛhadbrahmasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text containing over 4600 Sanskrit verses dealing primarily with Vaiṣṇava theology and practical matters concerning the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava community but also discussing aspects of Viśiṣṭādvaita philosophy.—Description of the chapter [śrīsūktārādhana]: [...] The elaborate prabodhayātrā-awakening ceremonies for the Goddess are then described. After a brief period these ceremonies are followed by the celebration of Her birthday festival-and general directions for doing which are given (20b-50), along with the rewards for seeing that all is carefully done (51-56a).
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.
