Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)

Source: eScholarship: Chapters 1-14 of the Hayasirsa Pancaratra

Udvigna (उद्विग्न) refers to “one who is agitated”, representing an undesirable characteristic of an Ācārya, according to the 9th-century Hayaśīrṣa-pañcarātra Ādikāṇḍa chapter 3.—The Lord said:—“I will tell you about the Sthāpakas endowed with perverse qualities. He should not construct a temple with those who are avoided in this Tantra. [...] He should not be very dark, without compassion, a sinner, nor emaciated, short or lazy, he should not be injured, uncultured, agitated (udvigna) and not depressed. [...] A god enshrined by any of these named above (viz., udvigna), is in no manner a giver of fruit. If a building for Viṣṇu is made anywhere by these excluded types (viz., udvigna) then that temple will not give rise to enjoyment and liberation and will yield no reward, of this there is no doubt”.

Udvigna (उद्विग्न) refers to “being afraid” (as opposed to Anudvigna—‘without being afraid’), as quoted by Hṛdayaśiva in his Prāyaścittasamuccaya (verse 10.27-35).—Accordingly, “Having recited [a particular mantra] along with [the practice of one of the] observances in accordance with the rules, and having bathed [at the end of the observance], one may recite that mantra for attaining supernatural powers. [...] Being thus bathed after the observance [in propitiation] of [his] mantra, invested in the right to [pursue] all [manner of special powers], faultless, he should then recite [his chosen] mantra according to the rules of his hand-book, without being afraid (anudvigna)”.

Udvigna (उद्विग्न, “terror”) refers to one of the worldly ailments, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—The Netratantra’s Second Chapter begins with the goddess Pārvatī’s request that Śiva reveal to her the remedy for the ailments that afflict divine and worldly beings. Among these maladies she lists [e.g, terror (udvigna)], [...]. Śiva responds that no one has ever before asked such a question and therefore he has never before revealed the answer. He emphasizes the importance of the mṛtyuñjaya-mantra and the Netra-tantra’s tripartite approaches of mantra, yoga, and jñāna (knowledge).

Udvigna (उद्विग्न) refers to “feeling gloomy”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] On realising that it was a bad portent, the terrified lady Vṛndā (the wife of Jalandhara) began to cry. She did not feel happy at all in the spacious terraces and towers of the palace. With two of her friends she then went to the park in the city. Even there she did not find herself at ease. Then she, the dejected gloomy (nirviṇṇa-udvigna-mānasā) wife of Jalandhara, wandered from forest to forest. She was not conscious of even herself. [...]”.
