In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Isvara Samhita Vol 1Śrīpati (श्रीपति) refers to one of the various Vibhava manifestations according to the Īśvarasaṃhitā 24.272-276.—Accordingly, “the husband of Śrī, Lord of Gods, who is of a brilliance like the interior of the lotus is to be meditated upon. His two hands are beautified by conch and discus. The other (hands) are offered to lead the Goddess (around the fire) as if in sport. He reveals that He has no matter, as I am the support for it. It is its own self in the middle by holding which, those who are bent upon clear meditation, cross over shortly and easily the sea of guṇas (Guṇodadhi), which is hard to cross”.
These Vibhavas (e.g., Śrīpati) represent the third of the five-fold manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness the Pāñcarātrins believe in. Note: Guṇodadhi refers to the sea of guṇas, guṇas here are Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, which belong to Prakṛti, the sea udadhi is made up of matter which suffers humanity.
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsŚrīpati (श्रीपति) refers to one of the Pradhāna-Devatās (i.e., “important deities”) mentioned in in chapter 12 of the Sāttvatasaṃhitā: one of the most ancient of Pāñcarātra Āgamas consisting of roughly 3500 verses which stresses the theological standpoint of the oneness of God despite his various vyūhas (modes of existence), vibhavas (manifestations) and avatāras (incarnations).—Description of the chapter [vibhavamūrtidhyāna-vidhi]: [...] It is stated that God takes His many shapes out of His own desire to come within the grasp of His worshippers, doing so out of compassion for His worshippers who have faith and devotion, etc. [...] The following forms are mentioned and described: [e.g., Śrīpati (81-91a, mentioning Agnīṣoma also as part of this aspect), [...] these being the “important” deities [pradhānadevatā] (167b). Those who know these deities thus, and who contemplate upon them so, will be relieved from the three sicknesses of birth, old age and death.
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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I1) Śrīpati (श्रीपति) or Śrīpatikathā refers to one of the 157 stories embedded in the Kathāmahodadhi by Somacandra (narrating stories from Jain literature, based on the Karpūraprakara), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—The Kathāmahodadhi represents a repository of 157 stories [e.g., Śrīpati-kathā] written in prose Sanskrit, although each of them is preceded by a verse. Together, they stage a large number of Jain characters (including early teachers). [...]
2) Śrīpati (श्रीपति) is the author of the Pārśvanāthavivāhalu (dealing with Pārśva in Jain literature).
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
Source: Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts, volume 3, part 1: SaduktikarnamritaŚrīpati (श्रीपति) is the name of a Poet mentioned in the 13th century Saduktikarṇāmrita by Śrīdhara Dāsa (son of Vaṭu Dāsa) who was a chief over several districts (called a mahāmaṇḍalika).—The Sadukti-Karnamrita is a collection of miscellaneous verses by different authors and on various subjects, five verses being devoted to each subject. There are 446 poets identified (for example, Śrīpati) some of which in the feminine gender (intended for females) while others are of Buddhist monks etc.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
