Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsSamārādhanavidhi (समाराधनविधि) or “rules for liturgical worship (by the arcaka in a temple)” is the name of the seventeenth chapter of the Aniruddhasaṃhitā, an ancient Pāñcarātra Āgama text dealing with the annual festivals of temples and regular temple worship routines.—Description of the chapter [samārādhanavidhi]: The chapter opens with a list of materials with which pūjā-worship by a temple-arcaka is to be done (2-6), the things to be done (7-8) and the festivals to be observed (9-13). The daily celebrations and the occasional festivals are also mentioned (14-16a). Care should be taken daily to insure the cleanliness and purity of the vessels, the materials, the room, the idol and the worshipper himself (16b-26). Then a detailed exposition of the liturgy to be followed by the arcaka in his ministrations and the worship is given—including drenchings, food-offerings and decorations (27-93). Finally, after this liturgy is over, some instructions are given for the arcaka, to go to the temple-kitchen with offerings (94-95).
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.
