In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Rathārohaṇa (रथारोहण) or Rathārohaṇavidhi 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 fragment of 54 ślokas from the “fifteenth” chapter is found in the subject of rathārohaṇa-vidhi (Pāñcarātrasārasaṃgraha, MGOML R. 762) [...] 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.
Arthashastra (politics and welfare)
Rathārohaṇa (रथारोहण) is the name of a ceremony performed by the king before going to the battlefield, according to the Atharvaveda-saṃhitā and Kauśika-sūtra.—The Āryan people in the Vedic period took interest not only in the battles but also the results of the battles. [...] The Rathārohaṇa ceremony is also performed by the king before going to the battlefield. The priest utters the Atharvavedic verses—“ni tad dadhiṣe'vare…etc., ayā viṣṭhā janayan….. etc.”, “apakrāman pauruṣeyād…etc., diśaścatasro’śvataryo devarathasya…etc.”, and “vanaspate stīrṇamā sīda….etc.”, over the new chariot and makes the king mount it along with the charioteer.
Arthashastra (अर्थशास्त्र, arthaśāstra) literature concerns itself with the teachings (shastra) of economic prosperity (artha) statecraft, politics and military tactics. The term arthashastra refers to both the name of these scientific teachings, as well as the name of a Sanskrit work included in such literature. This book was written (3rd century BCE) by by Kautilya, who flourished in the 4th century BCE.
